Did some extensive hone time on this razor and it seems to be a lot better than it has been recently. I did my standard two passes and followed it up by applying vitamin E oil for a quick touch up pass. Nice shave to start a lazy Saturday. It's not yet noon and already it's Africa hot outside. Some pool time may be in order later.

Great shave this morning! I'm learning to love the Proraso Pre-Shave Cream. It really sets up the beard and provide a nice cooling effect in these hot summer months. Always enjoy the shaves with the Shapleigh Razor. Good ole' St. Louis, Missouri Manufacturer! (My home town!)
