I recently refreshed this blade for the first time since Glen restored it for me. It held the edge well before, and was smooth as silk today. It took one pass to a near BBS. I think this is the only sheffield steel that I personally own, but I like the way it fits my face. What a way to start the day with an Arlington trifecta!

Pre Jabonman Romero + "old" Omega lanolin shaving cream + Omega 10098 + UFO U2 Long with Feather Portable head and Polsilver Super #3 + Razorock Wax Eucaliptus with "old" Williams Sport splash


A smooth shave, although mixing this Razorock Wax with splashes is not a good idea... too dense!


Cheers!
