One of my greatest shaves of all time. At the end of a long but productive day and I had had a few beers so I was nice and relaxed. I took a nice long shower and did a full towel treatment and the whole experience was just what I needed after a full day of work and a 20 mile bike ride. Great shave.

Matt

I need to get on my bike too

Test-shaving a couple

Custom Matt ivory super silvertip
Trumper's violet ss
Vintage Clydesdale strop
Dorko lady
8/8 Friodur
Trumper's alum
Trumper's CSF

Good shave but I have been working on the Dorko to improve it before sending off and just played a bit honing the Friodur for variety's sake (notably - first time I use a Y/G for it)

Surprisingly, the Friodur was very good! Better than the Dorko, and I am no fan of stainless steel. The hone time I dedicated to the Friodur was much less... To add insult to injury - the Dorko is sold to a forum member, the Friodur to somebody on ebay (actually, I terminated the auction to take up an offer but it was so good I might decide to refund the $ and keep it...)

Cheers
Ivo

ps Yes, I honed and shaved with the hex tool still taped to it
