Nice, isn't it?

It's a Lillicrap Hone. Back in the old days, apparently, you could keep your DE blade sharp by honing it on the inside of a glass. Lillicrap figured out he could sell just an object purpose made. You place a blade onto the curve and rub it gently up and down the curve, flip over and repeat.

I bought it as a stand.

That's interesting thanks, hadn't heard of those. Makes for an attractive stand.

Holiday shave

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso preshave - sensitive
Soap: T & H no. 10 cream
Brush: MÜHLE HJM synthetic
Bowl: Collapsible dog bowl
Razor: Progress @2.5
Blade: Astra SS (2)
After: Aqua Velva Classic AS, Everman Jack lotion

Not using my new Omega boar this morning as it's the last day of my hols, and I don't want to travel with it wet, so my synthetic saves the day.

First time using Everyman Jack face lotion as an ASB, pretty good performer, bit of a mint hit for a short time after, which is nice.

Result: BBS and irritation free (well that's expected from the Progress)

Nannys Ice and a Slice sample
Palmolive / Erasmic Frankensoap
Watered down Stirling Lemon Ice

Nannys seemed to break down after each pass so reloaded for each pass with the final pass switched to a bit of the frankensoap. Watered down the stirling lemon ice with more witch hazel which certainly helped ease the menthol content.

BBS results
