Hot water prep
Henckels 14 razor - generic silvertip brush - TOBS Eton College sc - cold water splash - Thayer's green re-splash - Floid balm - Acca Kappa 1869 AdC
Made a small honing mistake on this blade that I instantly recognised and rather than in the old days shaving on with a sub par razor I changed the razor for the Cocodrilo 14 and had instant bliss. The mistake will be corrected and good shaves shall be had again. 2 passes with the Cocodrilo was all it took to leave me silky-sticky-smooth.
Thanks for the eye-candy gents!
This lil Razors waited now for about two Years to get a soft Restoration and a fine Sharpening, and it makes me sad :-(
Im Sad that i waited so long! A terrific Shave with this Herder 137 5/8" with the extra thin edge, i guess with a Herder 137 oder a 136 nothing can be done wrong! But i guess that the sharpening Setup (Naniwa SuSt 800, Belgian Yellow, LaLune & Denim) is good for those Razors.
