  • Brush: Elite Razor Honduran Rosewood Burl 24mm HMW Fan
  • Razor: Union Razor Co. 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a test shave of fresh Arkansas edge on this Union razor. I bought t his razor for $12, so I don't expect a lot. My goal was to have a comfortable edge that has the personality of the Arkansas stone and provides a close shave. Comfort was definitely there in the shave, and closeness exceeded my expectations. I'd say this shave test was a success.
