    Kinfolk wedge with an Arkansas edge. Felt a little less sharp than my Welsh slates edge but still got through a two pass face shave.
    Happy shaving!

    5/8 Touron-Parisot and MdC rose were up today. A Keyhole copy by Scott Lockwood in emerald pearl did the lathering and Harris Pink was a perfect compliment scent wise.

    Wednesday morning shave, CVH MK No.31 with Ivory scales. One of the top notch razors you can find. The most wicked sharp edge! Smooth as a peach.

    A new CVH up for frameback Friday, it has some wear but is very clean and has natural scales. Also seemingly a masonic seal. Does anyone know anything about the history of this razor? Of course the razor shaved incredibly well.

    Pre-shave and cream were SMN, a Zenith boar did the lathering, and a splash of LOP cedrat finished up a nice fall shave.

    Razor: SSA ( nice edge after Welsh Slate progression)
    Brush: Synth
    Soap: Sterling Conferious

    after retouching up the edge and trying some new techniques on th Welsh Slates this has to be the smoothest edge I’ve gotten yet. Mowed head and facial hair, two passes. No problem.

    Happy shaving!

    Yes it is Tom.

    Spanish Sunday, Filly 14 Novodur, soap was La Toya lathered with a Semogue Galahad, and Myrsol Blue finished up a fine Sunday shave.

    Thank you Gary and Steve. This larger version of the “Doubly Carbonized” frameback is a fun blade to use. :eatdrink047:
