Thread: Look at this auction. Shave ready?

Well my alarm decided to malfunction today so I was late to work and no shave.. will have to get one in this evening after my run.

In this instance my wife decided to leave feedback for me since I had not yet so I can't really do anything about it now besides possibly a complaint after the fact.. I will have to see about maybe amending the feedback if possible. Or worst case if it is really bad purchase another blade and leave negative on that one LOL that will teach SWMBO to let me leave my own feedback.

Ok here are the results..

Beard prep was a hot shower with adding conditioner to my face and letting it set for 5 minutes.

Lather was created with a mix of Williams soap puck and Jack Black shave cream and a little glycerin.

I had the Boker I purchased Shave ready and then a Worcester Razor Co razor I honed as a test. I did the right side of my face with the Boker and left side with the Worcester.

Boker pulled like a mule under a heavy load. I did not strop it initially and even stropping it did not help much on a second pass.

The Worcester I honed pulled but pulled a lot less than the Boker. Seeing this was the first razor I have attempted to hone and cost me 2 bucks at an antique store I am extremely happy with the initial results.

Time to hit the hones with both though and try again tomorrow.

So, no surprise then. Thanks for your shave test.
