Strange shave today. Chged the rotation. Razor: different No Name, No Markings square point; Brush: N.N. Badger; Soap: strange! Gillette Shaving Cream (Argentina), good lather, good slide. but!! Razor would almost slide out of my hand when soap became heavy on my fingers more than with any other soap I've used!! Preshave: Noxzema Plus; Aftershave: Thayers Cucumber w Witch Hazel; Balm: Nivea Protective. Now the: Barber Hone part!! Decided to use the Three line Austria Swaty! Before shaving ~10 passes. After the 1st WTG it wasn't shaving well; stopped another ~20 with the real Swaty, same !! Still not shaving well! Stopped and took out the Keen Kutter Barber Hone. And....big change! Started to shave well!! May be the big bucks for the Swaty's may not be warranted ??
