I usually shave every other day, but digging through my samples drawer, I came across the Polsilvers. I don't recall ever having used this blade before, so I figured I'd give it a go. The Tech has been being neglected lately anyway. Le Chypre Sombre performed nicely as expected, and the Lavanille tonique feels as great as it smells. I don't really have an opinion either way as far as the Polsilver. It was a great shave, but one shave isn't enough for me to call it.

Matt, your photos are always so crystal clear!

Matt, your photos are always so crystal clear!  

I was already going to say something to the same accord with yesterday’s photo. And even that decades-old razor looks pristine and brand-new! It’s just art, pure and simple — same with your photos, Celestino.

Thank you, Matthew! That is very kind of you to say.

Nice setup, beautiful brush.
