Second luxury shave.

This is definitely the season for Vespers. Great scent. Also, this was a test of an edge that was created on a new Translucent Arkansas. The shave was comfortable and close, but the edge did not wow me. This razor had a frown in it and I had to grind that out. I’m not sure if the repair left a wide bevel angle or if the stone has more to give. I’ll look into this tomorrow.
