    This is my second JaNorton Shave. I'm up at the cottage, and I pare down my stuff when I come up here.

    Razor: Dovo Best Quality, 5/8 Round Point
    Brush: Omega Boar
    Cream: Palmolive Cream
    Strop: Homemade traveller, compiled from cut down SRD webbing and a piece of Bridle from Larry A's PIF thread a while back.
    A/S: None, I'm at the cottage.

    Two pass shave, from a lovely razor honed off the Norton 4/8.

    It was smooth, comfortable, and irritation free. It really was great.....I was completely happy with this shave. I was actually thinking while I was using it "Man, why don't I do 8k's more often, I like this...."

    Hi all,

    The JaNorton thread is getting pretty long, which is amazing. For those who are curious about the honing that's been going on, I've decided to root through the thread and find my posts in which I talk about the honing progressions I've used, and the stropping.

    Cheers,
