    Today I was very surprised with the razor I shaved with, it is the Dorko "Premier" and I think from what people are say in this forum, and a couple others, it is a 1/4 hollow grind. Anyway it was a total superb shave, smooth as silk, and left a very clean shaven face, was very, very happy with it, got it the day before. $_57.jpgDorko.jpg s-l500.jpgdorko 2.jpg

    5/8 Le Minet
    MeiBner Tremonia, Indian Flavor
    Homemade badger/Semogue 2 band knot
    This razor reminds me of a Grelot to a degree. Excellent shave this morning. The MT Indian flavor was very nice, I'd say the prominent scent is lemon grass followed with a menthol feel. It's a too little soon post shave to comment much on post shave feel but my initial impression is favorable. A couple of hours will tell the tale. Lather was not an issue, very nice. Have a good one.

    homemade/Omega S knot
    The MeiBner Tremonia lathered well and I had a nice shave. I really like this scent (spicy and I pick up clove). It left my face a little itchy but after my normal application of witch hazel I was o.k. with it. I'd like some shop time this weekend but the way the phone is ringing already probably won't happen. Have a good one.

    Filly
    MeiBner Tremonia
    homemade brush/25mm Shavemac 2 band silver tip

    Strong & Scottish, well it certainly is strong. You get a nice hint of whiskey then a pretty heavy scent of peat (smokey) and that's what your left with. I could see a lot of people think this one's nasty but being a fan of vetiver I kind of like it. Great lather and a very nice shave today. Have a good one.
