Ack... Don't let me see the Takeda/Livi's...
Bismarck strop, 30 passes
TGQ Desert Ironwood
Altesse silver tip

I took this to the pasted strop today, strarted to be "Not as sharp" as it used to. 10 passes on 1.0 and 10 on 0.5 did the trick :D
Oh ya almost forgot... I started trying the scything stroke this shave. What a difference on how the shave feels. I only tried in a few safe areas, so I didn't slice anything off. Big difference :D
