I don't often comment on my shaves but I must say the Erusta 96 Boehlersteel is without doubt one of the finest razors I have ever shaved with the equal to any I have in my collection including Filarmonica's Puma's Dubl Duck Henckels or my Japanese straights.

​

Jamie, that's another SotD calendar winner right there. Fantastic picture and brush!

Sunday

Afternoon, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Junjie TTO
Blade: Dorco ST-300 (2)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave cream: Super Smooth Southsea Spray
Aftershave: Old Spice
Cologne: L'Air du Desert Marocain

A much better shave today (I'm sure the Super Smooth played a big role in that), though the aggression in the Junjie makes the shave feel rough. Still, smooth and irritation-free which is all I ask for.
