Yep, I'll be shave testing a wacker off the hone tomorrow or Monday. That one has been difficult too.

Soak Vulfix 377
Shower ... Dunhill for men (1934) body wash
lather up Kiss My Face mint in 5" horn palm bowl
apply to face ... ooh, cooling!
one pass with Feather AC ... third day with a new proguard blade ... rounding into a perfect shave ... yes, I can get away with one pass with this set-up!
Nivea ASB
Dunhill Man cologne.

I was tempted to go post wit Proraso pre-post for even more cooling ... maybe next time. I really like having my Feather blade in this state, once the extreme sharpness has worn off. Tomorrow, SCS Fairway soap.
