    About the pictures, sorry for using the word "shot". I agree with eTom, some people do an exaple of excellence at work with their pictures of their shaves.

    I had to be in court early, so was forced to use the DE out of necessity again. I do not mean that in a bad way, it's just not as fun as a straight.

    More and more, I'm coming to think that BBS may be possible with just WTG passes. Maybe Sham was right (again) all along...

    C.V. Heljestrand 7/8
    Finished on kiita
    Stropped on Kanoyama (45 linen/75 leather)
    Semogue LE 2009 boar brush
    Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap
    Alum
    Bay rum with limes aftershave splash (same brand as the one Glen has, I forget the name)
    CarrieM's Unscented aftershave balm

    This was I guess what I could call another success in my honing experiments on Japanese naturals. I honed the razor on a kiita JimR sent me, and I used his methods. The razor cut hair very smoothly, but the edge felt a tiny bit harsh on my face. I've encountered this a lot with super stiff Swedish steel blades, so maybe these blades don't agree with my face (?)
