What an amazing shave! I absolutely love my Swedish steaWhat an amazing shave! I absolutely love my Swedish steel razors! @Josh26 talked honing a bit, sorry I got your username wrong

Awesome shave! That is my favorite soap /AS scent in all of wet shaving - I have two back-ups just to be safe!

Just a quick tid-bit. It’s pronounce sheep-ra but the ra is muted almost an er. The French always make things difficult

Iryna agrees! She loves it and thought it was similar to Fougere Angelic. The performance and scent were a total win for me and the aftershave was !

I’m super glad to have picked it up on a great trade used twice, but wouldn’t mind having a new one in reserve as well!

As mentioned in my video, SSA razors are post Jon Engström and much cheaper than most. The scales aren’t fancy but they are a great value!

Good stuff brother!

The H Diamond is most likely my next one. I posted my Cape in a recent SOTD, I plan on collecting several of those.

Oh, I know and I took notice

Let me know when you’re bidding on my razors so we don’t Jack the price up on each other

The crew at the barbershop says Japanese scissors are the best. It’s all they use. Is this true in your estimation @BarberDave?

In Today's world yes indeed, the vast majority of made there now. However Swedish and German are very good in sheers, just harder to come by, especially for a left hander like me.

Hitori Hanzo
Mushashi
Hunt & Hustle
are the ones I use and have.

The brush is really cool, I always like the look of resin and wood. The scales on the razor are not bad looking either.
