This razor arrived back to me this morning from Max. It had an issue at the edge that meant it needed a little breadknifing and rehoning and he put one hell of an edge on it. At a wonderful price too, I might add :001_smile

I'm not sure if my other razors will get a look in this week.

Crabtree & Evelyn Best Badge brush

Polisilver blade, compliments of David at Razorbladesandmore.com. Wow, what a blade! Sharp, smooth, gentle and forgiving. I may have found a new favorite.
Alum

All topped off with a dab of Pen's Blenheim Bouquet EDT. I like this, but maybe not quite so much as I like Hamman.

Here's to a good week!
