I. BARBER. OLD ENGLISH razor
SHAVEMAC badger
S.V. MIRTO DI SARDEGNA soap
OSMA alum
BLEU DE CHANEL parfum

Just got this razor into the rotation. I spent about an hour and a half getting the bevel set then honing went along well. I had to do some reshaping of the heel. I used numerous layers of tape on the spine but first I had to reduce the width of the tape. A little bit tricky but got there in the end. What a wonderful shave. The razor feels incredibly smooth and forgiving against the skin. This sweet old Sheffield steel is why me and others hunt down these very old razors. Well worth the effort.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Hardware setup is the same as yesterday (Rockwell + WWBW "REM Cycle") but software-wise I went back to Proraso Green shave cream and I finished with some ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Clean" skin food splash from Frank's Pure Collection. No frag today.

Hope you have a great day. :)
