Two day heavy growth, Proraso red pre-shave cream, Phoenix and Beau Imperial Rum soap, vintage Kropp (c.1920) and Proraso sandalwood and shea butter aftershave. Feeling awesome.
Demascara 5/8 from Fremont, Ohio (Claussen??), the first razor I honed last September 2018. It's been touched up on the MMTT Thuringian a couple of times. 
I might have some reservations when it comes to the size of the Rigarazors, but I've always admired the design, which is why I own one. A good shaver that can be used to stab someone to death.
Today I shaved with this small quarter hollow 4/8 Heljestrand No.24.
Thank you.Not much love now days for the more narrow blades. Yours is very nice.
They are nice and a rather different and demanding experience, but nothing to show off with.Thank you.
Yeah, I suppose if into showing off, the 4/8 is under appreciated. However, since I have a 15/16, I really don't understand the wide is better mentality.
Easy Aces today.
I have enough love for them to go around so no worries.Thank you.
Thanks
Yes you shaved with the very same razor, just another label, today. There's a good reason as to why this razor model was the most popular in Sweden. You need to know how to handle it if you aren't too cut yourself , but once mastered it'll do everything you want it to do, like a sports car. I saw the other new razor you got. To me the shoulderless one is even better, but that's just me.

Really digging this razor. I think I have a "thing" for framebacks ...
Wade and Butcher Frameback
Tabac
Custom CRV in badger
The tang on this frameback is much wider than that on my Johan Engström. Even has jimps on the bottom surface. Easier to control, and so a more "relaxed" shave. But it performs every bit as well. BBS in 3 easy passes and sooooo much fun.
And I gotta say, the Tabac is growing on me. I actually tried to give this soap away to a co-worker and DE convert, and he returned it. Kinda bugged me, "Gift Horse" and all that. But I'm kinda glad he did now ...
