I missed that completely, but there are many reasons I shouldn't have. I guess cognitive decline is really a thing :/
I don't know. K.W Marx?

Very nice shave today; enjoying the scent of Blugère and the Premium soap base.
The color on those scales contrasts with the gold nicely. I just test the edge on a razor when I get it. If it makes it past the packing peanut, I'll give it a try. Otherwise, straight to the "to-hone" pile. Another nice photo!
lol!!

Ah yes, German Reunification Day. Well, any chance to celebrate works for me. I'm honoriing it with an all German setup. After 31 days without a single strop, the Frio 14 sports a brand new sharp, feather-like edge. And, of course, The Stank® needs no introduction.
