  • Cherub 8000
  • Shavemac 24 mm 2-band LE

The Cherub is one of my best shaving Japanese razors. Really a joy to use and my face is smooth as a baby after 3 rounds.
Ready for a day outside with the kids.

That has to be better tomorrow, King! :blush

But then we'll be home again, so we'll have plenty of time to take it easy.

Yesterday evening:
Morris & Forndran Alibaba 22mm Flattop in Blonde Badger, Ivoorwit
Eufros - Kasbah
Pils - 101NE
Voskhod (2)
Alum

Eufros Kasbah smells very interesting and spicy out of the sample, as does the lather. After the shave, as time progresses, the scent turns sweet and ends a bit cinnamony. I like the first part, not sure yet about the second.
Reassembled the Pils in its original glory, basically: placed back the original handle. Finding the angle was not that difficult, keeping it was a bit. Decided this is a pleasant razor. I like both looks, handling and result, can only get better when I get used to it.

This morning 3 testshaves:

The Gold dollar was refreshed with the light green thuringer hone, which I found gives me a very fine edge, a pleasure to shave with.
The Kain-Abel and the Worldmaster where both honed and tested, both have very good steel and give nice shaves.

Have a nice weekend gentlemen
