The last time I was using the Revisor I noticed it was starting to pull a little. Last night I polished it on my Chinese natural hone and it made a difference. Smooth shave! Have a great week!

Fantastic shave on both the dome and the face. This combination of soap, brush and after shave treatment just seems to work very well. My first safety razor shave in a long time. The single ring sure is a great old shaver.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn “Pure Badger”
Soap: Vintage Blades Triple-Milled Proprietary Soap
Strop: 3" Red Latigo. Started on canvas and moved up, as this razor was New Old Stock and I figured it needed a bit more than the usual touch-up.
Razor: 5/8 Wapi SFK "Rassiermesser Mit Metallschalen"
After Shave: L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm
Cologne: Carolina Herrera 212 Men
Result: Shockingly good. This shave was easier and more pleasant than my Dovo has ever been. Only needed two passes and touch-ups rather than 3 or 4. Balm worked nicely, mostly because the razor didn't cut me up at all. The VB soap was nice; no Pen's or TOBS, but solid and absolutely sufficient.

This is my 4th shave and i have to say it's pretty hard to get the hands to do what you want :D but after you get that motion ( you all know what im talking about ) it seems like everything clicks in and it seems like this is why god gave men hands... so they can straight shave with them ( both ) :D
Have a nice evening,

In day 3 of "Boil Water Order" in Boston, shaved with DE since I didn't wantto use tap water. Decent shave considering I did one pass and whipped up lather in my hands with a tiny amount of boiled water. Looking forward to being able to soak my brush again.
