    Decided to switch it up and reached for the Single Ring Clone. The razor has no markings on it but closely resembles clones of German origin. Thin cap with a lot of blade reveal but a fantastic shaver! Lathered up with Fine Italian Citrus and on a snowy day in February it was just the ticket. Followed up with the matching AS and a DFS 2 passer, done and dusted. Happy Monday!

    Decided to switch up my razor today
    Used my new flare tip, super nice shave. 3 pass on my cheeks to a bbs finish, 2 pass dfs on my neck with only a quick burn from the alum. This razor has a lot more blade feel compared to my teck, going to go back to my focus after this blade.
    Cold rinse
    Silver flare tip
    Sterling's g&t
    Perfecto brush
    Alum
    Witch hazel

    2 pass BBS. Surprising light razor, feels light anyway, just aggressive enough when closed tight. Did a perfectly thorough job on 4 days worth of beard and boy, what a looker. Quite happy with it. Thank you, @Primotenore !
