Ask me about shaving naked!
Le Grelot, soap was La Toja lathered with a SOC boar, and Harris Pink finished up a super shave. The razor is a nicely done refurb, light wear but horn scales which is a nice upgrade.

BATTLE OF THE TITANS
Yesterday afternoon I honed up a new Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 that I am PIFing here. This morning I wanted to compare this newly honed edge against another T.H.60 that is in my regular rotation.
Both SRs are very similar. The SR to be PIFed is dressed in African ebony timber while the control SR is dressed in Madagascan mahogany. The only differences between the two are; mass (66g ebony -v- 63g mahogany), bevel angle (18.1° ebony -v- 18.2° mahogany) and balance from pivot pin (9mm ebony -v- 10mm mahogany).
Just prior to the shave-off, both SRs were put through a another full pasted balsa strop progression.
Mahogany LHS - Ebony RHS
One SR was used for one side of the face and the other for the other side. They were then swapped about for each subsequent pass. Three passes; WTG, XTG+fool's pass and another XTG in the opposite direction.
The result was that the ebony SR (to be PIFed) just pipped the mahogany SR. This was only noticed in the fool's pass where the ebony was slightly more comfortable in cutting the whiskers.
Looks like the control SR will get a little more "love" before it is next used.

Ask me about shaving naked!
The second razor of the Touron-Parisot set was up today, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Semogue Galahad, and D.R. Harris Pink finished up a rosy shave.
“Marwyn Guaranteed by H. Boker” whatever that means. First shave with this razor and first shave off my own edge.
No time for photography today so you get an old picture.
MK 30, Varen, and Clubman for the win.

My favorite razor!
Koraat Custom 13
After several weeks with the Bengalls, I felt like something shiny and new this morning. They don’t get much shinier than a mirror polished Koraat.

I really like your tray.... looks lovely on the counter or shelf.... Of course, the Koraat takes center stage... but the tray sets it off nicely.
