Craziest shave in a LONG time. I got challenged by Tom Blodgett to shave with a Maestro Wu cleaver. These ones are available in Germany, so that's my link :D
It was fun to sharpen a knife like you would hone a razor. A bit scary though. you can see a video of the shave HERE :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFMyMG6v9lM

Akatombow | Shavemac | DR Harris Almond + Acca Kappa 1869 + Glycerin | Thayers Lavender | Cade + Knize Ten (Vintage) | The Knize Ten

Result: I am constantly amazed by how incredible the DR Harris/AK 1869 combo is. It's almost like these two products were simply meant to be put together! I took my time this morning building a pile of lather in my bowl, then slowly worked it into the stubble. After several minutes, my face looked like I was sporting a full Santa Claus beard and the den was filled with the aroma of sweet almonds. The dilemma was what blade to pair with this heavenly lather, so I did what any dedicated wet shaver would do, I reached for a blade I hadn't used in a while. The Akatombow is a wonderful example of western style Japanese razors. The gorgeous frame back is clothed in some elk bone scales put together by Glen, and it makes for such an incredible balance both in terms of looks and feel of the razor. This beauty glided through the almond goodness with nary a care. In its wake, I found nothing but clean, smooth, moist skin. By the time I emerged from the shave den, I was a new man! Of course, the ritual cannot be considered complete until you've got a little smell good working and with the this combination, I had to reach for a classic, so the Knize Ten was applied judiciously and now I smell at least as good as I look!
