The razor of the week to come a CVH MK No 32 a.k.a. "The Lady". This is The One razor that I’ll keep as long as I live. Not because it’s forgiving because it isn’t. It is the straight razor version of the Mühle R41, the 2011 version and not the tamed 2013 version.
In short it is a fantastic shaver in experienced hands, probably the most efficient razor you’ll ever find. If you aren’t experienced you can be pretty sure that she’ll make you pay in blood. This isn’t my first or only Heljestrand M.K. No.32, I’ve got a couple in ivory, but this is the razor that made me focus and forget everything else at the time I needed it the most. I always think of her as “The Lady” which is an euphemism for a dog of the female persuasion.
Everyone should have one.

Sunday's Shave

Joseph Smith
Joseph Smith wedge
Mojo Handcrafts
Tabac soap, AS, and EdC
Today was the day that, FINALLY, the bottom of the bowl broke through the soap. Can't wait to retire this soap. I'll replace it with Tabac in a glass Tabac bowl.

First shave with my BST Le Grelot 52. Balsa/diamond progression > linen > leather yesterday. Two passes today, I was inclined to be critical, but it was a fine shave. I have re-emphasized skin stretching, especially to make shaving one of my neck hollows less irritating. I was getting lazy!

Koza 172 "Finest Yamato steel"
13/16ths bellied hollow, wicked hard steel.
Some of you may have noticed me post this in the acquisition thread a few days ago, I was worried about the bevel angle. I pushed it for a good long time on my jnat with water only, stropped it, and finished on diamond pasted balsa (something I rarely do). Ended with a hair popping blade even at a bit of a steeper angle than I am use too. Great shave after and I bet it won't need honed for a very long time.
