First shave with Mamabear's soap - Irish Tweed

Very hot water via tea water heater used for steaming towel
Three (3) different razors - the job being finished with a 6/8 Revisor
4711 aftershave

I am starting to realize that my stropping technique is fatally flawed. I have two great blades that I have screwed up with poor technique, and I am going to have to go back to the hone to get them back into the rotation. Used pasted strop to correct the Revisor, and it is my best razor, good stuff.

Closest shave yet, last pass against the grain - took some time, lather was top notch, heated was even better. Overall good experience.

Today was a test shave day. First of many as I like refurbishing these things a lot.

Newly Honed Novelty Cutlery Co. 6/8 Razor.

I have to say Lynn, you weren't kidding. These things are a beauty to use. It shaved like butter I have to say. No pressure and nice easy strokes. I think I really like the 6/8 size a lot. I am still getting used to it. That and the spike, but I love this razor. I may take it back to the Chromium for a little bit more fine tuning, but it shaves beautifully.
Very proud of this little razor.
