  • Brush: Wald Stratos Haunter 29mm A1
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 11/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Beloved - Soap
  • Aftershave: House of Mammoth - Beloved - Splash
  • Talc: Yardley Classic

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This shave was comparison between an edge created on an African du Hindi(?) stone and an edge created on a Black Arkansas stone. When I was using the African stone I was reminded of a Black Arkansas, so I felt as if it would be good to compare the edges. Performance between them was almost identical. Close, comfortable, and with a slightly crisp feel.

I always enjoy Beloved. It is a scent that promotes quiet contemplation.
