Location, 52° 45' 55.10460 - 0° 57' 31.22065
Beard Prep:Hot Bath/conditioner
Razor:Gong 13/16 Extra Hollow
Strop:N/A Fresh Honed
Brush:Kent Pure badger
Soap:TOBS Lemon/Lime
Astringent:Alum Block
AS:Nivea Balm
Result: Smooth but not bbs all over
Conclusion: Razor needs a little more time, just a tweak, and dont expect your best shave at 12.30am when you have had a head ache all day
Still all in all not too shabby

I had one of my best shaves in a long time this morning. Used a Dorko 6/8ths razor proraso green shave cream and a old made rite badger brush. No nicks or cuts just smooth skin and noTP on chin while driving to church.
