Another flawless shave, from a Spanish Rescue Razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth(BDBS). Zero issues. Also, I do like this little workhorse of a brush. The Shave Cream is also great. Easy to lather, and super slick. Razor- Filarmonica 14. Doble Temple, JMP. Made in Spain. Brush- Wilkinson Sword. Boar Soap- Taylor of Old Bond Street(TOBS). Cedarwood Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

Wednesday morning shave, EDV Neiström. Not a pleasant shave, have to be honed and thoroughly stropped. Had to use the Merkur for a decent shave. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk
A friend of mine mentioned my old Kenwa western asymmetric kamisori, and oddly enough I’d been thinking about digging it out of the razor vault, freshening up the edge and giving it a shave. It shaved very much like a traditional Kamisori, buttery smooth but watch your Ps and Qs when shaving. Soap was MdC rose and Myrsol Plastic Shave finished up a really nice BDBS shave.
