    Hi guys!

    Have a great week!

    This was my second outing with this lovely French Frameback. Like before the reduction was not what I'd hoped for or would like. However, with more touch ups than usual I ended up with a nice shave. :happy088:

    Tonight's shave was with a freshly honed and partially restored razor. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, that left me smooooth all over. Very nice razor. It did give me a tiny "SR Love Bite", not enough to worry about.

    Razor- J.H.Obold & Co.
    Brush- Vintage Boar, unknown maker. I call it "Mighty Mite".
    Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Florida Water

    I gave this 5 laps on the hone that came with the barber box and another 100 laps on leather. Amazing edge! 100% improved over yesterday's shave. Yeah, I caught the baby :)

    That's a nice looking setup. The brush, razor, and strop compliment each other

    I love it. It is easy to maintain and takes a great edge. Very comfortable to shave with too. Plus it looks cool.

    I have one as well. You'll love the thumb notch, it provides a natural grip. The shoulderless design makes it a breeze to strop. Can I ask where you got it?
