I was a little heedless.

First ever shave with the snaggle-tooth NI Bostonian, gave myself a base-of-the-neck weeper doing maelstrom touch up.

First ever shave with the Roxo, after edge restoration - a beautiful shave with a light, hollow SR on multi-day stubble. Sharp and smooth across the blade.
 
Got lost in a series of theme months, finishing with One Blade in February. I'm going to go with a My Way theme for a while...

Ertan Süer Campiono 6/8

borrowed Timeless 95 OC

Very meticulous shave, half was observed by the LOTH, great result in spite of conversation while shaving.

This was an absolutely spectacular shave. Both razors performed exceptionally, the lather was glorious, the brush is superb, the copper bowl is always a pleasure to use and the aftershave is phenomenal. I've wanted both of these razors for 10+ years. It was awesome to finally add them to my collection and to get to shave with them both for the first time. The adapter I made for the Torrey worked perfectly.
