Ask me about shaving naked!
@Mic - that W&B is impressive! Tres bon!

@2bit_collie - congratulations on 1 year in - it only gets better from here on out.

My version of the Sunday shaver, a Heljestrand M.K. ‘31-1/2’, an M.K. 32 with moderate hone wear and some corrective honing. It shaves perfectly of course, and this razor’s condition always amazes me. The M.K. series in ivory were not made after 1939, so this razor is quite old as well as having seen considerable use. But so surprisingly, there was no tarnish, patina, rust, or pitting! Whoever wore the edge down loved the razor enough to care for it properly, it was obviously perfectly cleaned after every use.

Soap was tallow Tabac lathered with a Tulip 2, and a splash of Myrsol AB finished up a great Sunday morning shave.
