3 pass BBS.

Gotta love them fresh off the stone! This razor was just...I believe the technical term is freakin ridiculously sharp. I would have gladly done a second pass but there was nothing left to cut after the first.

What stone did you use with this razor?

Thanks to all for another fine week of shaves, ideas, and brotherhood!

Just between us, my stone is a combination course/fine affair that I picked up at an Ace hardware store when I first started straight shaving about six years ago. Back then I told myself it was only temporary until I could put hands on a Norton 4K/8K but as time went by and I perfected my technique my makeshift stone seemed more than adequate and I just never replaced it. Now my secret is out, my name is 1OldGI and I don't have fancy hones. At any rate, I gave this razor a good workout on the stone and 60 laps on an antique horsehide strop and the results were magic.

Tonight was a Perrex 5/8 (was NOS but required rescaling...)
Omega 10098 Bowl Monster
Proraso Green (lifetime supply...or so...)
CC Cat O' Nine Tails!
