Cape 1000 Swedish Steel, an unusual razor that might end up in vintage ivory if I can fins some that fits. The existing scales are too small, misaligned, and the heel is ‘feelable’ at the bottom when the razor is closed. There was always a question if these were made by Tanifuji, and in this case there’s no doubt, it has Tanifuji stamps on the pile side tang. I’ve seen a couple of these around. Cream was T&H UC lathered with a Simpsons 59 (no lather shortage today) and SMN lavande finished up a BBS shave.
Dovo Carre - still just diamond/balsa progression to finish factory edge. HHT and I agree it is wicked sharp. Time to back off to just 200k/0.1u maintenance stropping. Tony Miller 3" linen/roughout hoursehide strop - 20/30 RazoRock Wunderbar - Rapira PL (7), Ti handle. Used to subdue the right side neck maelstrom. I have to confess I went after it from a variety of angles with the Yellow Boy yesterday. End result: irritation, one weeper, no improvement in closeness. So a very light touch was required there with both razors today. Ach. Brito Mogno - stick works very well with this fine soap "Stubby" - my homebuilt black walnut black badger Florida Limeade - badger barbershop blend. Summer! Well, warm weather at least. The skiing is getting sticky.
