    So I decided to try my hand at touching up a razor with a barber's hone I got in a trade. Bad news: I only have one straight right now and I got it freshly honed by Max so I was super worried about ruining the edge. Good news: I didn't ruin the edge. If anything it is feeling smoother again.

    Prep: Fire Shower and conditioner on the beard
    Soap: Fitjar Fjellheim lathered in the lovely Edwin Jagger Bowl
    Brush: Vulfix Super
    Razor: Redpoint 5/8
    Post: Cold water just like our forefathers
    Soundtrack: One and End of the Line, both by Metallica

    Result: Great smooth close shave. Not perfect because I'm still working on the best techniques for parts of my face, but still a wonderful shave and I actually went through the trouble to get a picture with my computer.
