How much of a fair shake does 70th need? 😅
That razor looks fantastic. Is it NOS or just very well kept/refurbished?

Using 70^th^ is a problem. When returned from my trip yesterday, I had a new soap at my doorstep (Elysian Soap’s Olympus). I took a huff of the tub and immediately thought, “I should sell this”. Later that day, I wondered if maybe 70^th^ is spoiling me so I took a huff of my tub of Seaforth! Black Watch and had the same reaction. I am going to need to wean myself off 70^th^ after this month.
The razor was refurbished by The Shave Authority (in CH, btw). It is well used but was also maintained well. Swedish steel hardened in the mid 90’s HRC. Amazing edge with a very different feel from your Fili.

Oh no! Not Black Watch! 😱 I’ll be more careful going forward when using this schedule 1 soap recreationally😅
CH as in Cofœderatio Helvetica? I couldn’t find much googling this. Do you have a link?

Yes. The Shave Authority is an Etsy shop (TheShaveAuthority on Etsy). He offers high-end, harder to find, mostly NOS or lightly restored, Japanese razors and shaving-related items. I’m helping him move to a honing process that includes a microscope similar to mine. His sharpening work is already excellent, btw.

His offering looks great! Pricy, but great
