The Mk II is, as you might expect, version 2 of Fendrihan’s own stainless steel razor (here with a bronze coating). Version 1 struck me as very harsh, but the Mk II is really excellent: efficient and comfortable and feels in the hand quite robust.
First, of course, I did a good prep: MR GLO, then a Yazu/Rose/Patchouli lather from Declaration Grooming’s excellent shaving soap. I’m really tempted to try their new formula, but I have so many soaps that it seems senseless to add more.
RazoRock’s 400 brush produce a superb lather, and three passes later I had a perfectly smooth and undamaged face, to which I applied a good splash of Chatillon Lux’s fine aftershave lotion with the matching fragrance.
