Very nice shave

I had not used one of these Swedish honeys for a while and this shave reminded me why I like them so much...

Truth be told I was planning to sell the razor as I have a few others but now I am going to sleep on it

Cheers

Wow forgot how light the Dwarf is, got just a touch of a kiss off it as it skipped on my cheek. Not sure if I'll keep this one on the rotation. I may just have to find a good near mint one for a collector, and be happy with it.

I really like the QED Shave sticks, but I like to lather in a bowl. ...so I cut about 3/8th of an inch off the top of the soap, put it in a bowl, and lathered up with my brush. It really worked great!

How many of these Friodurs do you have, Neale? Looking good

2 days' stubble
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Honeybee Sue Chamomile Shea soap - because we just talked with Sue today: very nice on skin, as always
Boker Red Injun 101 6/8 (hate the name)
JE 13/16 sterling silver (Tiffany's)
HMC 6/8 handforged
JASON 6-in-1

Testing a few razors:

RI out the door for 1/2 pass was very nice, even on traditionally harder stubble on upper lip and chin. JE was dull enough to feel bad and give me a small nick in the first 3 strokes on the left upper lip, which was frustrating. Put it down right away, but still too late.

The third razor was the nice surprise - I expected nice performance from a hand-forged but this one was smoother than I hoped for

Great shave, no irritation but I wish I had not nicked myself with the dull razor

Cheers
