Taylor's Eye Witness, The 1000
Arko Stick (nearing the end, but 4 on hand)
Simpsons Duke 3 in Best
Pinaud Clubman

The open Osma box indicates that I started a new alum block today. Dropped the nub of the old one and a quarter-sized chunk became three sub-dime-sized pieces. Too small for these fumbling paws. The new block feels HUGE!

Zero feedback from the alum, but the Clubman burned like fire! Weird...
 
$137 Filarmonica today...I am happy to report that it shaves as well as any razors I have used, and the new technique I watched on YouTube for finishing on an Escher was a huge success for my shave today! I couldn’t be happier!

I hope that everyone has a great rest of the weekend!

Ask me about shaving naked!
Greaves near wedge
TOBS lavender cream
Semogue 1250

Last shave with the Greaves were underwhelming. Felt harsh and whisker removal was sub-par. Took it back to black ark and then repeated the pasted balsa progression. Today went much better. Less harsh, more whisker removal.

I have a couple more old Sheffields on my bench right now. I find them an order of magnitude harder to hone than say much newer Japanese blades.
