Thanked: 13228Lanolin Overload!!!!
This was a great shave this morning I have upped the strop laps into the 75 range and the smoothness factor has paid huge dividends...
This particular razor I believe is my sharpest razor but it has never given me the smoothest shave, by stropping more, I seem to be getting some nice smooth shaves from some of the super sharp Solingen edges.....

Hot shower
Sanguine razor
Used my TM #2, 40 laps on linen, 40 laps on the leather.
My favorite stainless steel shaving mug. I have a soft spot for stainless steel mugs.
Williams Shaving Mug soap
CVS store brand Cool Menthol aftershave
Gillete series aftershave lotion
2 passes WTG, 1 pass ATG. Great BBS shave. This Sanguine is not a bad razor, just has to be honed about every 2 months. The Gillete series aftershave lotion has a nice fragrance that I really like.
