    User Novodur 14, soap and AS were Stirling Green. Great shave, smooth and close. Stirling is a fine tallow soap as most of you know.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Red Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh 30RS
    Luxor Pro Master
    Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade
    CWR
    Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

    The Proraso Red Shaving Soap was applied with the Jayaruh 30RS silver tip brush. One pass and touch ups with the Luxor Pro Master with a Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Mastro Livi Grifo

    The successor to @Keithmax ’s Grifetto, with the details of the razor paying homage to his town of Perugia. Cool coral and white turquoise accents inside the olive wood scales. Livi brush in olive wood also.

    F.W. Engels Velvet Edge. Second go with the Sir Hair Barbershop soap. Only lathered and then shaved one section at a time. Very smooth shave. The Velvet Edge is the perfect name for this razor.

    I shaved most of the week with the erik anton berg.

    Yesterday I honed this razor. I think it is a Luckhaus & Günther. It's nearly 13/16.

    I have not that great experience of razors outside Sweden, have just 2 Germans and one Japanese. I must say I prefer the Swedish razors. Only my opinion!
