Gorgeous razor! Looks like a cleaver next to the small tub :)

@snooting@sub.wetshaving.social inspired me in yesterday’s SOTD thread to reach for MdC Absinthe. Sweeter and more minty than actual absinthe’s scent it’s still a delightful fresh scent and made for a great shave with the W&B broadsword.
The only thing I regret about purchasing Absinthe is that I went for the small tub. These are comically tiny and even with this small Boti synth brush, it feels like loading from a sample.

Yeah, it’s pretty nice feeling, too! Just the toe is a challenge to hone for me. The edge has a strong smile there and requires extra care to get it as sharp as the main part of the edge.
A challenge, but a fun one.

Do you have a razor with a strong smile at the edge?
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 1 week ago
None quite that happy :) This W&B Fine India Steel is my most smiling edge, I think.
