Another great shave of the improvised newspaper strop. I had plenty of time for a change, and enjoyed 3 very relaxing passes. My face is ultra smooth, but unfortunately a little dry. I think its just due to this cold bloody Sydney weather. Winter is coming...
I'm driving home in the morning so I'll have some different razors to post this week

All great posts and beautiful pics already this week.
Keep em coming boys.

Grant, shall I send my shovel to Australia- because of the snow?

I tend to use big razors a lot. Usually 7/8 or bigger. Every time I pull out this little gem, I'm left wondering why! Not very often one sees customs made in 5/8. This one is small, but a really good performer, and to me, a real beauty too.
