Well let me start off by saying this was the best shave ever! Not because it was a perfect BBS Shave. Because it wasnt. It was Good. Only a couple spots need touch up. But because it came from a razor i honed myself. YEA!!! I took one of my old ones. Had a dip in the heel and some fine nicks in the blade. Took a while to get it done. Actually 2 tries. But the results were great. I had very little stubble. Usually when it like that i have a harder time getting a BBS shave. When its 2-3 days of growth then it is easier to get a BBS shave.

Trumpers Cream. This stuff is just awesome.

The standard fabulous shave with this razor. This is shave 13 since its last honing and it seems to just stay insanely sharp with just routine stroppings. Every time I start to think I should hone it, I strop it and it renders a BBS shave.

To my surprise my head shave went smother than the one on the face , strange (one nick on face and a two missed spots on neck, after two passes ). I´m very happy with the head shave today though, went WTG and a semi ATG/XTG. Whiped up a nice and rich super lather and it could have lasted for a friend aswell, even though I did two passes both on head and face. Ahh, the bliss of having very soft water
