Now I'm not going to say my honing is as good or close to Max's who is my only point of reference, that's ridiculous. The guy has thousands of razors under his belt (sounds uncomfortable, right?) BUT the shave was comfortable and easy, that's what matters right?

2 passes atg and xtg, bbs. Have been experimenting with a way to warm up my brush prior to shaving, without using a scuttle. Water from our tap isn't as hot as it used to be, we need to replace the hot water heater. So I hit upon the idea of using my Old Spice coffee mug to warm my brush. I heat the water for no longer than 1 minute in the microwave and by the time I'm ready to shave the water is still reasonably warm. This was also my first trial of Lucky Tiger "Aspen " a/s, I was quite pleased with the sent, quite remiscent of an old fashioned barber shop.

Evening shave:

20/40 premiumII SRD cotton/leather strop
CM Almond Aloe soap
CM brush
hot water towel on face
13/16 Wacker "Jahresmesser 2008" Spanish Point
2 passes - WTG/XTG - nick free
