    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.
    The older I get, the better I was

    Thumbs up Variation on this week's theme - Tuesday

    Pre-Shave: Stephan's Smooth Shave Cream
    Razor: 7/8" Novelty, Spike Point
    Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip
    Überather: CarrieM Bay Rum Creme + Trumper's violet soap + glycerin
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (as always)
    Post-Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food, Trumper's Moisturizer
    Cologne: Penhaligon's Racquets
    Result: I tried my 7/8 Novelty blade for a change this Tuesday. I do Love my spike points. An enjoyably slick and moist lather for an exceptionally smooth shave.
