Hans - if I was handy I’d polish off that blemish on the tang. Of course, it shaves the same either way

Thank you Hans!

Genco Expert, soap was Pre de Provence lathered with an oscar11-handled Zenith knot, and Myrsol Formula C finished up Saturday morning’s shave. The razor, brush, soap, and AS all performed exceptionally well.

Here’s a question for Hans: American steel has an excellent reputation, especially the steel used by the Finger Lakes, New York region, brands like W.R. Case, Geneva/Genco, Ontario, Waterville, etc. The ore came from around the western Great lakes region, up next to Canada and I assume that Canada has similar deposits further north. Michigan is about 15 degrees lower latitude than Sweden, so my question is could this ore be the same geological deposit, or similar deposit to the Swedish ore? The question is based on the comments about the ability of both the Swedish and American steels to take and hold the finest of edges. Tim Zwada uses iron sand from this region to make his ‘Timahagane’ steel. The American razors were not as hard as many Swedish counterparts though.

There are coticule deposits in eastern Canada, and slate deposits in New England that are very similar to their European counterparts so maybe the iron ore is similar?

Newly acquired, restored, and honed. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. Fantastically made razor.

Brought back some memories from a Seattle Shave Con in 2016 where I met Hunter from the Portland Razor Co. If I remember correctly, he brought some new to them Kamisori style blades to show. Cool times.

Enjoy your shave.

Today's Boker/Böker Red-Injun was lots o' fun. I like a medium-sized razor, with slimmish scales.

Could be Steve, the earth’s plates have been moving a lot over billions of years, the most known theory is the Pangea, the first land mass that was split into the Kontinents that we have today. About the steel quality, I agree that the Geneva I have is quite close to the Swedish razors. And in the end a lot of countries bought Swedish steel for their razor production. Still most of the razor blade production is made of Swedish steel

I’ve long ago realized the folly of declaring a favorite razor but this Tamako YSK is sweet, sweet, sweet - maybe even my favorite
