Nice and clean.​
 
Saturday

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest knot in old barbers handle
Razor: Aktinson, The Favorite
Soap: Tabac
AS: Prada
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
Extra hollow and extra sharp blade close to 5/8, cutting edge is 3 inches long and I think it´s a tad to long for such a narrow and hollow grind. I could be wrong though, it has happened before... Once, in 1983. :D Wonderful shave anyway!

Most enjoyable, two pass shave with minor touch up, what can I say about this shave, if I couldn't use any other products, I would be more than happy for this to be my only shave, very impressed with the Coty Cologne.

Muhle R41/ Yellow 7 O'Clock

Mama Bears Lilac & Lavender

The MB produced acceptable but uninspiring lather, but it'll be back to Speik and Wilkinson Sword sticks tomorrow.

See you're still enjoying the 11c Blyth. Its on my list, hopefully I haven't gotten too used to the lightness of the Muhle, but the OC is the best DE head I've used by far. The 11c was James Bonds razor as well, so the motivation is doubled.

Don't forget the 15C, another very nice OC by Merkur.

Don't know why but this razor fits me quite well. It must be half or close on its way to needing a hone, something which I still cannot spot or feel readily as yet; however the advantage for me is that since it is not lethally sharp as Neil's edges, I can now do my chin 97% with one pass plus safer work on the moustache area...

Nice, confident and fast shave overall.

Not a good shot but I'm a bit tired, and by now Mikael's cats will be sleeping anyway, so I'll try to give them the nice promised picture sometime next week. :p:icon_cheesygrin:
