    Tonight's shave was with a lesser used French Frameback. It gave a good Two pass shave, with smooth results. It isn't a very noisy razor, so feedback was minimal. But, I cant argue with a DFS.

    Razor- Cuillere "Veritable Brussard" Qualite Extra

    Two Pass Shaving Routine..:cool:

    Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
    Friodur Henckels Solingen Stainless Steel 7/8th
    Mason Pearson Pure Badger
    Phoenix & Beau Tallow Soap
    Logona Mann Balm

    I had an Early Morning Shave this Morning with My Friodur 7/8th..This is a Crazy Sharp SR but Very Smooth on the Face..This Razor has a Slight Factory Smiling Blade & Subtlety Curved Spine which is Quite Unusual for a Square Point Type Design SR in My Experience..It Can be Seen More Clearly in the Top Pic with a Keen Eye..These Friodur Solingen SRs are Almighty Shavers..The Engineering & Grind Quality is 2nd to None..:D

    I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:kar:

    It was time for me to use the Engstrom frameback. I'm getting down to the bottom of my Stirling bay rum soap and my knock off Skin Bracer. It was a very nice shave this morning.

    Saturday is my favorite shave day. I get to sleep in, have a couple cups of coffee. After a long shower; I treat myself to hot towel and a slow careful three pass shave. Plenty of time to pick the razor, soap and scents. Today the Flic gave up another close, smooth, comfortable shave. I'm refreshed and ready to tackle the weekend. I trust you gentlemen feel the same:)

    I have been reaching for wider blades and the Kropp seemed to be a natural. It was a lovely shave. The grind on this is very thin and the lightest of pressure was all that was required to leave my face smooth, smooth, smooth. :happy036:

    Hot water preparation
    AOS Lavender PSO
    Haslinger Honig Shave Soap
    T&H Wellington Super Badger
    Kropp 7/8
    Osma Bloc d'Alun
    T&H Classic After Shave Balm

    Happy shaving - Karl

    Tonight's shave was with an old Japanese razor. Two pass shave, that left me smooooth. No nicks, cuts, or weepers.
