  • Brush: AP Shave Co Lemondrop 28mm SynBad

  • Razor: Solingen Best Silver Steel 6/8 Extra Hollow

  • Lather: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a test shave of this razor and the result was terrific. Everything you would expect from a Jnat edge. The edge was in very good shape when it arrived. All it needed was a minor refresh. I think this one was previously honed by @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social . I hope I did him justice. Here's the video.

I don't use The Undersea very much. I really enjoyed it today.

How many AA razors do you have to get through?

There will be many happy participants in the various open blade challenges this year thanks to you!

Really not that many. I have done three, have a fourth that I'll do tomorrow, and there's a fifth on the way. AA is a great opportunity to start down the rabbit hole. I hope people take advantage of it.
