    I really like this soap, scent, post shave feel, lather, everything. Now if they'd have a sandalwood and a nice vetiver, I'd be a happy guy for a few weeks anyway. Nice shave this morning. Have a good one.

    I put a little sharper edge on my near wedge Lund with some red paste today. Wow, it moved it up a notch and provided a lovely shave. Definitely put it into a different category and I’ll add an extra lap with the red for the next shave. :happy036:

    6/8 Manaslu M300 Had a spectacular shave with this Japanese blade .She gave me a very good shave last week .But I thought the edge could be little more keen .So I gave her a little bit more time on the J-Nat .That was all that was needed.Now this blade gives a BBS in almost no time .Love high quality Japanese Steel .

    Shave #44 with the Cape, soap was ABC cream lathered with a Tulip 2. AS was Harris Pink followed by a dab of AdP face cream.

    The edge is holding up well.

    Cheers, Steve

    Had the pleasure of honing up a friend’s Otto Busch World Master 194. Really love mine and his is even a nicer version - box and original paperwork. The 1/8” difference in width (separate thread on those differences) is still a little weird but interesting.
    Also the maiden voyage of “The Joker.”
