Razor: Toyo Hashimoto Special
Über: RazoRock XXX + GFT Limes
Brush: Shavemac
Toner: Thayers Lavender
ASB: Sabon
EdT: Guerlain Derby (Vintage)​

​

Result: There's a new horse in the stable and she is quite a beauty! This Toyo arrived yesterday, and I wasted no times introducing it to some fine Japanese rocks! I set the bevel on the 1k Chosera then progressed through the 5k and 10k Choseras. With a nice shiny bevel, it then took a few turns around the block on my Oozuku Suita using a nagura progression (ボタン、天上、コマ and 中山のともなぐ&#12425. I finished it with 10 laps on CrOx.


The shave today was simply marvelous! The Toyo took a very smooth edge and it was a ninja blade as it silently assassinated any whisker it found. The lather was equally nice. I don't often use the GFT, but it's lime scent paired perfectly with the citrus of the XXX. I was left with a well hydrated and very smooth face! The piece de resistance today was the scent that Luca Turin calls "one of the ten best masculines of all time." If you can ever get the original vintage version of it, do so!

It's been a great week of shaves, gentlemen, thank you all!​
