    I refreshed this blade which had fallen out of favor recently. What a difference. Easy WTG strokes were making the shave a pleasure. Too easy as it turned out. Before you know it I managed to catch the edge on my skin. Yikes, a divot. :shocked003:

    I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later but that doesn’t make me feel any better about it. :prrr: Maybe this razor just doesn’t want to stay in the collection.

    Yesterday’s shave, Gen 1 Filly 14 and Dior Eau Sauvage cream lathered with a Simpsons 57. A little Dior ES balm and a spritz of ES EdT finished things up. This razor was just cleaned up and I re-honed it yesterday but the edge is only 90% of what it should be, it will take a better one, so back to the rocks.

    Today’s shave, a CVH 7/8 MK 144 and SMN lathered with a Tulip 2. A splash of Harris Pink topped the shave off. Nothing wrong with the edge on this razor, BBS 2-pass as usual with a CVH.

    Today is the first day of a 5 day holiday. Mon - Wed is a public holiday here for Lunar New Year. During this vacation my theme is smiling razors. To kick the holiday off in style I went my Edward Brice 6/8 half hollow pimp stick.
