I stropped it up along with old faithful. Did both on the felt for 40 laps then 50 each on leather.

I used the Boker for the first pass and it seemed fine. When I went to shave ATG on my neck, boy did it pull. Switched over to the W&Bfor what turned out to be a nice shave.
I now know what the difference between a properly honed and stropped blade and a not so properly honed blade feels like. The W&B tore down the whiskers on the ATG pass with no sensation of pulling. Turned out to be a very nice shave.

Felt a bit nostalgic this evening, thus the reason for the photo.

Forget the gear and the shave Jeff...Your daughter (I assume) is beautiful ...she is sooooo cute. Watch out, she's going to be a heart breaker.

Congratulations on the honing James . It is quite satisfying to shave with the fruits of your own labor, sweat and blood.

Thanks. It is satisfying to harvest the fruits of labor, sweat and blood. Luckily there wasn't much blood...

I love it. I was going to edit the post and say so, but you already beat me to the punch.

Thanks, Robert. Yup, she is a beauty and a smooth shaver to boot.

Result: Very clean one today
It must be tons of clycerine in this soap. Today I tried to be careful and not load to much, but it exploded and after two passes and one touch up on the neck, it still looked like a newly whiped up bowl of lather (I´ll post a bowl post pic tonight). Very nice one today, almost like Perfection

As promissed, lather bowl _after_ the shave:
