    Rifuto shave #43, soap was 3P and the AS was L’OP Cade, and an Omega 49 did the lathering.

    Going from my big blades to my smallest. This Lund set is smaller in size than any of my other razors. But, a good edge is a good edge no matter what’s behind it. Smooth, clean and rewarding shave :happy036:

    Argan Oil PSO
    Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Badger
    Haslinger Aloe Vera Shaving Soap

    Had to rewire my brain for this one… a W&B this big should not be ground this thin :). Great blade.

    Beautiful indeed! Is that Paragon new to your collection @Karl G ?

    Thanks - I think we share a weakness for those curved, smooth lines :happy088:

    I’ve had it for a while now but don’t bring it out often. @Billyfergie did the honors on the edge as I found it on an obscure site in the UK and had them ship it to him first :happy036: It was supposedly NOS from the Ragg family collection when they sold off the family collection some years back (that auction was also the original source of my favorite Lund and some of my other Ragg’s.)

    Hey Karl, I've never heard of the Lund. Is it a Swedish razor?
