    The Rigarazor gave about as smooth a shave as you can ask for and it was marred only by a momentary burying of the blade in my chin on the first pass. It made for a lot of blood (being on blood thinners makes straights interesting…) But what’s a little blood now and then, right? :D

    Every once and a while, you need to rotate the old red stuff out, to make room for the fresh stuff. Yeh, that's why I do it now and again. :happy088:

    Spanish Sunday, Filly 14 Novodur, soap was La Toja lathered with a Semogue Galahad, and the AS was Myrsol Blue, a nice compliment to the La Toja scent.

    C.V.H M.K. 133, soap and AS were C&S 88, and the brush an ash wood Semogue Mistura. Dang that’s a lot of letters and periods, lol.

    6/8 Ontario, this one took a bit of honing to clear the bevel pitting, but is sound or almost sound now. Crwam was ABC and the be\rush a SOC. SMN lavande finished up.
