I tested two razors on my new Oohira Renge Suita. Both razors had the same edge to begin with and received the same number of strokes on the hone.


Razor#1: Le Canadien 6/8 Full Hollow
Razor#2: Robert Williams 7/8 Custom 1/4 Hollow

Soap: QED Bay Rum

Brush: Kimson Custom

AS: Lucido

The first impression of the hone is very nice. Both edges were smoother than cro oxide. Both edges had no 'harshness' to them either.

Thanksgiving Eve:
I always looked forward to this Wed. when I was running the Nightclubs, this is a huge party night....In fact number wise only eclipsed by New Years and St Patties day....
Wasn't always the $$$money$$$ to be made though that was nice, some of it was that I knew I would see so many old faces coming in for a obligatory shot of Wild Turkey, they would be in town for the Thanksgiving Feast with family...That's what I always enjoyed most..

The shave = Simple is what simple does
