    Thank you for the kind comments. A TARDIS really comes in handy sometimes.

    Wade & Butcher again... slightly smaller but a great feel.
    I am a fan of PAA’s bay rums, and this twist with coconut and lime is very nice.

    CVH MK 32, soap was Dovo Merkur lavender, the same soap as the old RazoRock King Louis Lavender if you were ever a fan of that soap (note: contains lanolin). Brush was the hippie brush and Myrsol AB finished off a perfect shave.

    I have a 4/8 Chauterhault TI with bamboo scales...hate them, these are rounded and too big imo...I will, will likely re scale em or sell the razor.

    I like the shape that the widening from heel to point gives this razor.

    Testing a karasu so the razor is a Gold Monkey, soap was IC Mango lathered with a M&F Alibaba, and the AS was IC Rhubarb. The stone is good, no complaints about the edge, smooth and comfy.

    Nothing shaves like a wonderful Tanifuji vintage razor like this Command No. 68. Fantastic 2-pass shave with Castle Forbes products that rarely disappoint. Hope you all have a great spring day!

    Herr Razor, first shave after being refreshed on Seuhiro 30k. Smooth and wickedly sharp.

    Love the black and white pic Keith!

    Went with an Edward Zinn razor, distributor out of NY. It was made in Sweden and I’ve seen ties to Johan Engstrom and E.A. Berg, so I was thinking I might have lucked into something nice.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the blade. A little over 5/8 but feels substantial in hand. 1/2 hollow really felt great during the shave... might be the best $8 I’ve spent. :)

    Rigarazor 7/8 in Böhler steel today, just freshened up on the newly arrived kiita from Alex G. Shaved like a million bucks! Soap was L’Occitane en Provence lathered with a PJ3, and L’OP balm and EdT finished up a lovely morning’s shave.

    Yesterday was #110 on the Filly Sub Cero, still rockin’

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Shaving Cream
    Ever-Ready C-40
    Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS

    The Palmolive Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Ever-Ready C-40 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
