STILLE Stockholm Sweden, first time using it due to a crack in the edge at the back. This was the strangest razor I have used. Sharp? Absolutely, but very loud. Extremely thin blade. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

It has been over a week, since my last shave. I contracted The COVID virus, while at work, and I just didn't feel like shaving, or doing much of anything else. Until today. So, this is my "Lockdown Shave". It is with a newly restored, and honed American Made razor. I had a silky smooth, 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues, except I cannot smell anything I am using. Razor- Lakeside Cutlery "Army and Navy". USA. Soap- AOS "OUD" Brush- @oscar11 homemade special. Synthetic knot. Aftershave- Florida Water.
Get well soon Scott! Just another ho hum shave but high quality, Filly 14, SMN, and a Keyhole 3. Good stuff.
Sorry to hear about your COVID bout, Scott! Hope your smell and taste return in due time! At least you had a great shave!
