Enjoyable shave with my Lund near wedge today - I think somewhere I’d read that John & Wm Ragg made these for Lunds. I don’t know but they are wonderful razors. (y)

Some small razor love today. This Lund is Saturday of a four day set. They are what I call midi in size - 9/16 and 2.75” in length instead of the standard 3”. But an edge is an edge regardless of how much steel is behind it and Saturday provided a very efficient and smooth shave :love:

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip Badger
Castle Forbes 1445 Shaving Cream
Lund “midi” 9/16 - Saturday
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel

That is a sweet setup. Was just thinking how cool it would look with a Peregrino (or Ever Ready 500), or if you'd got it in translucent blue to match the CH2 Manchu.

Just waiting for a Heinnie Haynes x Koraat collab so I can get one with red G10 scales LOL!

(Not really, that's just me justifying not having one haha!)
Lol have thought about getting one in the blue too..don’t get me started I have serious issues I just can’t help myself..Hi my name is Jay and I’m a razorholic ! There I’ve said it first step to recovery n all that haha
 
Yes, I always had good self control but lockdown seems to have broken my resolve and self-denial. I'm not in too much danger of dropping a quarter K on a custom blade but I seem to be finding myself looking at brushes and soaps more than is strictly necessary for maintaining a shipshape face! I feel a Peregrino coming on, just holding off, hoping Shaving Station will bring in the 26mm '80s swimming pool blue' Phantom Aerolite.

Plus, a Damascus Higonokami may just have somehow found its way into a jiffy bag with my address on. And I'm not a bona fide 'collector' of anything as such. It's definitely an 'ism' or an 'itis'!
