AS:Old spice.
ASB:AOS Sandalwood.

The razor is one I just picked up over the weekend, I little bit of time sanding and polishing, honed it up, and wow, one of my best razors.

people under estimate the 3/8's. They make great shavers and are very nimble in my experience... I have 3 that I break out in the winter when I grow the winter mustache and goatee..

This weekend, I took the Fili back to my JNats to see if I couldn't improve the edge a bit from my first attempt honing this blade. It didn't seem to want to cut the beard at first. I couldn't tell if it was just tugging or what the problem was with the edge. In the end, I did two passes plus touch up and wound up with an incredibly smooth BBS and no razor burn. That said, I wasn't a big fan of the edge I got.

Under my microscospe, the edge is a smooth, hazy finish like I think I'm supposed to get, but then again, I don't know what I don't know about honing! I'm thinking I may have to step back down my hone progression and rework the edge a bit more at the lower grits...

Taking the kiddos to the punkin patch today. Funny.....I finally get a day off and I wake up earlier than a workday...
