A shave before bed. I feel refreshed enough to sleep.
Have a good night!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very enjoyable fougère Friday.

A lively scentscape in this shave. Armonía and Weinstrasse have these bright green, and loud notes which while different, play very well together, a tart wrapper for this sweet Opulence sandwich.
Yet another very smooth shave and I'm pleased that the factory edge on this Koraat is holding up this well.
Ulrik does a great job with heat treatment. I never have tried, but I'm certain I could easily get 50 great shaves from one of his razors. Impatience is what causes me to hone Koraats. Not edge deterioration.
I've also never let it go far enough to see find the limit :)

Best lather I’ve gotten with the Premium base and it’s so good. Need to try it if you haven’t.
Need to try it if you haven’t.
I agree. I used the premium base today and was thinking what a great job Chris did in creating it.
