I haven't tried the Rolls yet. I'm saving that up for LG 😁

"Pinging" you two to address your comments on the mail call. Similar in feel to handling a GEM, but with a much gentler blade. Awesome shaver.

First go with this Lather Catcher and I love it! I just honed up one of the 3 wedge blades this evening. I could probably stand to dial it in a little more. All in all, fantastic shave though. I just love Lather Catchers.

Very steampunk indeed. From what I can tell, these were made by Heljestrand between 1900 and 1939. The lines along the back give me really strong 30's vibes. The most steampunk looking decade!

It is. It has a little clip in the middle that holds the blades. From what I gather, you set the blade in the clip and pull the leather, then flip and pull it the other way. It's cool. I'll try to remember to grab a pic showing that this evening.

The Night Before is one of my favorite scents in wetshaving. I wish so bad I had a frag of it.

I refreshed the edge on this chopper for the first time since getting it. Roman has great steel, and it's a perfect marriage with the Nakayama. I wish I had done this sooner. I liked the edge on it just fine before. I absolutely love it now.

Damn fine shave.

Damn fine shave. Labyrinth is a fantastic scent.

You should. I think they're neat and same with their history. Definitely try one with Swedish steel, though, I bet some old Sheffield steel would feel great too.
