The art of shaving stuff is a tad expensive but I was feeling flush the day I bought it. Tremendous shave however.

Use a headblade on my billiard ball like head, tried a straight once and looked as if I 'd been in a car crash afterwards!!

Pretty damn good. Although I'm not turning out to be a big fan of the skin food. I'll stick to the goatsmilk AS I think.

I couldn't resist... After 3 days of Philishave, I needed to go for a real thing even though I still have a major cold. Currently residing in Heaven

Last night I had more adventures in honing. I honed all three of my razors; starting w/ the Wester Bros. hone & finishing w/ the Lithide. Then stropped all three. Proceeded to hot cloths, C & E jojoba soap w/ Plisson pure badger, and tried out all three razors. The 5/8 Henckels isn't there yet, in fact it seemed better after last honing. Overhoned? Maybe, but can't detect a wire edge. The 9/16 Dbl Duck Dwarf is ALMOST there; but not quite. The 4/8 C. V. Heljestrand is better than I've ever felt it. Very smooth & no drag. Always liked this razor best on the sensitive neck area. Finished w/ witch hazel splash.

It was a Proraso day for me.
