Today was a test shave day, clash of the titans style.
On the left is a "True IXL" Wostenholm wedge with a maximum width of just under 8/8. On the right is a Wade & Butcher wedge measuring in at just under 7/8 at the widest point. (My dual purpose Colibri lighter is serving as the referee.)
Both honed up on a King 1K, BBW/Coticule progression which ended on my TM strop.
To make the playing conditions equally challenging, I went with no shave prep at all. Each blade got one side of the face with a fresh coat of room temperature Proraso. I was hoping to pick one of the two to keep, but they both gave mighty fine shaves.

Another themed shave. Freemasonry is another big part of my life. I'm currently serving as the Secretary for Northern Lodge 278 in New Hope, Alabama.
