March 25th, 2026: Wow nice

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - w/AP Shave Co. Cashmere 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Licht Werk Magnetic Blue Steel - Solingen - 6/8 Half Hollow (1)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum
  • Fragrance: Berceuse Parfum - Allegretto 7.2 - EdP

I got this razor recently on Auction Ninja. I couldn't find much information about Licht Werk online, other than there's a modern lighting company who uses the name. There are a few pictures of other examples online, and the one I got is in excellent condition compared to the photos I found.

Either I'm getting a lot better at this honing business, or I got lucky, or this razor is just really really good, or some combination of the above options -- because this edge was really really nice. This was probably my first time going 2k, 5k, 8k, 10k where I could actually tell a distinct difference between each step using the packing peanut test. In the past I could tell things were getting better as I went, but this time it was more obvious if that makes sense.

So your honing skills are getting razor sharp.

Almost as sharp as your wit!
