    Quite a mismatch today, using a Gold Monkey to test an edge off an Aiiwatani kiita that I use mostly as a knife finisher. The edge shaved fine but wasn’t quite as smooth as some other stones make, though maybe some clear water strokes may perk that edge up a bit. Cream was vintage AdP Colonia lathered with a Keyhole 3, and a splash of Myrsol Limon took care of the AS duties. A spritz of Colonia EdT finished up.

    Iberia from Barcelona, Spain, 8/8. They were first made in the 1930's. I have seen very few online as opposed to Filarmonicas or even Palmera, though, so pretty rare. Made by the factory of Jose Bassat Jerusalmi, who was born in Bulgaria.

    No pic but my first day on vacation I took off 48 hours of growth with a Parker shavette. I am alternating between the Parker and a Karve OC F plate on vacation. Missing my straight for sure.

    Shave #15 on the blue user-grade Filly 14 Sub Cero, still feels freshly honed. Soap was Martin de Candre rose lathered with a Keyhole 4 and a splash of Harris Pink finished things up. I am a smooth operator today.

    Had a wonderful shave with this Japanese blade. The finely ground Swedish steel removed whiskers with little effort. 0_rps20190714_153747_933.jpg

    Second day using a German made/M. Jung imported razor. The razor was prepared by a film progression followed by diamond pasted balsa.

    Gen 1 Filly 14 user grade, foolin’ around on the hones last night and think the heel needs a tiny bit more love as I could feel it cutting when using the heel to trim around the goatee. Otherwise, it’s a velvet squeegee. Soap was Cibe Uomo lavender, aka Razorock King Louis Lavender, lathered with a Simpsons 57. A splash of Myrsol AB finished up.
