Shaver = Dovo Astrale 5/8 round nose Soap = SRD for sensitive skin Brush = VDH Boar Witch Hazel ASG = AOS Very comfortable shave today. The edge is staying keen. No weepers or beheadings. 3 pass shave with DE cleanup. Keen blades & Smooth shaves Gents !
The Red Imp 132 but I don't know what size it is or whatever but I think it is some kind of "wedge" but I may be wrong!
Looks to be 5/8" and it probably is a wedge as Case made two variations on their blade profiles (wedge and full hollow). Today's early morning shave….

First go this morning with this vintage C-MON Cadillac. I received a new set of Naniwa SuperStones yesterday, so as a Father's Day treat to myself, I honed this CMON using a Naniwa progression (1k, 5k,8k, 12k), then fabric/leather strop. No real surprise but……super Smoooooth shave today!
So for fathersday I shaved for the second time with my Louis Perlmann 14 7/8. Man what a great shave!
My wife and kids got me this one for Father's Day, so I used it this evening for a great shave. My wife picked this out from @gssixgun, and I think it looks as great as the shave it provides. I am a blessed man to have such a thoughtful wife and children.
