two passes of the finest kind

Setup for Saturday and Sunday:

Wester Brothers "Anchor Brand" 5/8
VDH soap
"Barbershop" brush
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Corn Huskers
Nivea PSB

Two passes WTG. Best two shaves that I have gotten yet from a straight. Honed this razor from dull with an Arkansas oil stone, and finished with a strop I made over the weekend. Maybe 150 Denim, 100 leather. I know I need to add another stone or two to get a more polished edge, but these last two have been pretty good, and very confidence inspiring to boot! I am working on another razor at the moment, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke...
