  Super smooth shave with the Abalone today. This is really a great razor (if you keep the sharp point in mind). It’s heftier, possibly stiffer, than my other Bökers, but the grind doesn’t seem thicker. Either way, it’s right down my alley.

    My Puma is scheduled for Thursday. I’m still looking for a 6/8" High Class, though

      I got a Puma 100 last week from the bay. The images were 👀 - flattering, and I was surprized about the state, but the price was low. I have heavy staining on the blade, and I might need to unpeen it. Manual polishing didn’t get me very far, but the integrity of the blade looks ok, as far as I can tell. Affaire à suivre!

      Very difficult to find the high class in 6/8. Looking forward to seeing your new arrival!

  Late shave, and reduced motor control – but, no cut.

  Have a good night!

  Noticed some pokey hairs so spent a few minutes after the shave sussing them out with a pair of tweezers. We’ll see next time if it made any difference.

  I’ve been seeing lots of weather alerts about low humidity creating dangerous fire conditions, so figured I’d use two balm products, one thicker than the other.

    I read “lather alerts” and got really confused.
