  • Brush: Grizzly Bay Shire 26mm V18 Fanchurian

  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 11/16 Hollow Ground Round Point

  • Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.


Today's Tea for Tuesday shave was really a shave test for a new edge. The edge is one of my typical Jnat edges, but one that ended with a misty tomo nagura slurry instead of one that was finished on plain water. I felt as if the shave was very comfortable but could have been closer. The ideal bevel angle for this razor measures ~16.5°, so there are no geometry issues. I'll be trying this one again.
