Very good shave. A bit on the fast + careless side because I started too late. Still - no cuts, nicks, or burn. 2 of the 3 razors were solid. The third (Wostenholm) shaved OK, but I want better than that from it - it's too rare, good-looking, and convenient to shave only at that level.
Cheers

Same as yesterday. I was gonna use the TIPTLE, but about lap 25 on the dubl duck strop I felt this thumping in the razor. Turns out I flipped the edge onto the leather handle piece. The heel and toe are still sharp, but the middle needs to get back on the hone. So I switched to the 7/8 Friodur, and had a great shave.
