SEptember Countdown……..
No Tnnser for me.
Chance to use a Rolls. One of my favourites because they are just so much darn work. I don’t use a Rolls hone but rather I prefer to finish on this awesome Shobudani stone I picked up at the estate sale of a Japanese barber who immigrated to Vancouver Island in the 1920s and brought this stone with him. He had a barber shop in Campbell River BC for many years. I was told by his retired age son that it had originally belonged to his dad’s grandfather who had been a barber in Japan. It puts a glass edge on these Rolls blades. (I wish my Ipad camera could do the same.)
The shave was simple. An Imperial 2 non-telescoping handle with a 1935 I2 blade. A mid 30s Klenzo boar and some Truefitt & Hill sandalwood puck. I got the edge just right. Yay! Great shave today.
One day left! I wonder what Jayaruh has planned for the last day???
