    Stay safe sir!

    User-grade King Pelican 14, testing a different nagura on the hone. Cream was SMN lathered with a Keyhole 3, and Myrsol AB finished up a oerfect shave. Apparently the nagura is a good match.

    Lovely razor, Tom! I really like the blade design on that Riga! I have one, but am not wild about it. Great shave!

    Thank you Jeff. I wasn't sure about the orange at first, but it has grown on me and I think it goes with the beautiful design of the blade.

    Omega 45 by Perfectworks, cream and AS were AdP and the brush a Rooney. Hard to beat and I am BBS hours later.

    Fresh off the stones. I had a very nice two pass shave, that left me BBS. This razor is interesting to shave with. It is a very thin razor, but very rigid. It shaves like a light Wedge Blade, but very noisy, because it is thin. Very odd to hear and feel. Zero issues with the shave.

    Razor- J.A.Hellberg. Eskilstuna Sweden. Ivory Scales.
    Brush- JR#262, Birdseye Maple/Ebony. Silvertip Badger knot
    Soap- AOS Kingsman. Bourbon
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice

    Thank you Gary! The transparent orange may have to make an appearance in a future scale project. ;)
