Did a few strokes with my Wester Bros. razor, but am going to have to revert to the DE until I can either nab a coticule ir send off to have one of my razors honed. Frustrating, but I am sure that when I get a truly shave ready razor it will be worth it. Not that I dislike the DE, by the way.

Conclusion: Nearly 2 Days Growth and the J Sellers Performed Like A Dream, Very light very Smoooth, 1 small nick but you cant blame her for wanting to taste a little blood after years and years sat rotting now can you?

Right on - the all Proraso shave...it's my favorite! It's such a standby combo that I have to force myself to use variety!

Brush: Shavemac 23mm Silver tip
Shave Cream: CarrieM's Bamboo Teak
Strop: Canvas and 3" SRD Bridal
Razpr: J.A. Henckels Platinum

Results: Smooth as silk and BBS

This razor is wicked sharp and very smooth. It must have been a good day when I honed this one. Just a very small notch above the rest but enough to make a difference resulting in a couple of nicks.
