    homemade boar (Omega large knot)

    Very nice shave this morning. Relofted this knot in a new handle and went back to my favorite boar setting (loft and hole size). Have a good one.

    Sweet setup.

    Where did that handle come from?

    I’m learning my Yellow/Green Thuri so I shaved again with the Lund after some light touch up. Smoother, sharper. The shave went from good to very good, almost great. :happy088: Slowly, slowly I learn more. I’ll be sticking with the Lund and my Big Napoleon for a while while I learn more about what works best. :)

    That Lund has a beautiful profile... shoulderless, thumb notch, and that transition from thumb notch to blade is sexy! Yeah, I said sexy!!!
    Oh, and don't get me started on the scales...

    Thank you. I did this one a while back. It's a fine shaved, for being so small and light.

    I am in agreement, the Lund is a fine looking razor.

    A big Dorko is on my some day list. Nice razor. :signs021:

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    B-400 by Tom
    Joseph Elliot Wedge
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Vanilla

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Joseph Elliot Wedge and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. I caught myself on my upper lip once during the first pass and drew a little blood. Nothing bad. It has been a long time since I have drawn blood. I was just a little over confident. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
