Ha! That's the first MMTech I've heard of.

The only other that I'm aware of is Infernal's MMFBT. I don't have a flat bottom tech head though, they seem hard to find.

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Rei Momo from Noble Otter arrived yesterday. I thought that it might be a nice fruity, but not too citrus scent and it is. This one is definitely gourmand, but you don't feel as if you're walking around smelling like a fruit cocktail.

This Star razor was scent to me so that I could hone the blades for it, so this shave was a test to ensure that the sharpness on these blades is up to snuff.

I imagine there are a lot of similarities in honing a wedge vs honing a razor?

Yes. Almost identical.

Such a good razor. I was talking to VisceralWatch yesterday about how great wedges can be, yet people still tend to gravitate towards half hallow.
