One of the rescued FR razors with a perfect regrind done long ago…edge off of the light gray 7x2.5 Hohenzollern Abziehsteine was also perfect. Great way to start the week!


And in other news…I am starting to get the hang of cooking with cast iron skillets!

Maiden voyage for the Meiji.  Beautiful razor. One of the complaints is blade alignment but mine is perfect.  Having said that, it wasn't the smoothest shave I've ever had, at least in the neck area.  I'll fiddle more with the adjustments and may try a milder blade next time. And I might need a technique adjustment as well.
In all, a decent shave but not a great one.
