    Thank you, I thought today was pimp stick Friday.

    I got it right, it is pimp stick Friday. That is a 'sharp' looking razor.

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Weck Sextoblade Med with a Personna Super Stainless Hair Shaper and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Near wedge + smile :- how do you maintain the edge?

    Stunning razor and set up! I was hoping to get more feedback on the castle forbes! I’ve been having a hard time deciding if I want to buy it or not based on the price tag as many have told me it’s not worth $60CAD since you actually have it and use it I thought I’d ask.

    I guess this goes in here? It’s not a traditional straight, and it’s not a safety razor either. Today’s shave, was with one of my Rolls razors. 2 pass DFS.
