Quite an excellent Friday, gentlemen. Thank you for your beautiful photos and excellent descriptions and commentaries. All are greatly appreciated.

Good evening to all. Hope you are looking forward to a fabulous weekend. See you soon.

Superb layout. How do you like the Claymore? I see you are using a different handle.

Just one shave under the belt so far but excellent 2 pass shave. The MR9 handle feels a little more balanced in the hands but will see how if any it improves the shave in the morning.

Striking sepia homage, Søren. How was the Rotbart?

Thank you very much

The Rotbart gives a nice comfortable shave, it is on the mild side, but not quite as mild as a Fat Handled Tech which is my reference point.

Quite an attractive close up, Josh. How did you like the Mystic Water soap?

Thanks Ron. I normally have great lathers with Mystic Water, but I went a little overboard with the water on this shave, losing some of the cushion. The scent is exactly as described by the name, with a faint background of vetiver. All in all, a good soap, but I won't be adding to the MW collection.

RazoRock Tuscan Oud today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Manchurian White. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Rapira Swedish Supersteel in the Maggard V2. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with RazoRock Tuscan Oud aftershave.

Talk about a rustic setting, Chris! Quite an intriguing shot. Is the handle of the PantaRei comfortable to use?

Thanks. The handle isn't the most ergonomic but works well. I have another from the same artisan that is more cylindrical which is actually more comfortable than the barrel shaped. The knots are excellent by the way.

Grand looking arrangement, Dave. How do you like your Timeless?

The Timeless is by a large margin the finest razor I have ever shaved with. I have used most everything out there over the last 50 years. Very efficient and incredibly smooth. Highly recommend it.
