GFT developed a wonderful thick lather that provided a beautiful slick shave
I have struggled to get a good edge on the Solingen Best Quality Silver Steel. Every other attempt has resulted in the blade being returned to the stones even though it was tree topping hairs.
This may be 3rd or 4th attempt honing this blade and finally got a nice edge and comfortable shave from it. I am giving credit to the newly acquired JNAT Nakayama Kyoto Shouhonyama Kanmaki​

Image recycled to save electrons. And because this is becoming a regular weekend treat. Interesting that a soap that initially inspired a "meh" reaction when I first sniffed it off the puck has become a top favourite. I can't say for sure why, but these hard milled soaps make it so easy to get a super-close DBS.

I finished the week of working through my English matching seven-day set of straight razors with face-lathered tallow Tabac.

​
For the first time, I have worked through one of my sets and found that all edges are of equal high quality. None of them need any extra work.

Next week will be with my T.R. Cadman "Bengall" straight razor set face lathering with ARKO.

Soap: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II
Post: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II
EDP: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II

Banger scent on this one, Shawn has outdone himself once again.
I mainly pickup grapefruit and cedar followed by freesia, yuzu and tridecanal.
The EDP smells a bit cheap and synthetic, it’s not something I’d wear out but nice for around the house.
