Pretty good shave, no cuts! Two passes WTG and some touch up on the chin with the straight. Picked up an awesome little loom strop, Gillette Tech fat handle and a gold Ball End Tech yesterday for FREE from one of my regular spots. Tried a pass on the chin with both of them, but felt guilty... The loom strop seemed to have more "draw" I guess than the hanging one I have, as the hanging one is soft but very slick. Pretty close shave, still some stubble, not able to stretch quite right on the chin yet, but it looks ok from a distance.
