Tony's strop really increased the comfort level of the shave. Its width made stropping easier and faster. At the price I bought it for, I feel like I stole it.

A little scary since I've been using a DE since I got married, but I had full confidence in Lynn's honing abilities...

Best shave ever... I didn't sleep well last night and felt like dog doo doo. Took my time with everything and had an awesome shave and walked out the door to work feeling like a million dollars. Amazing how the shave made me feel so refreshed and felt better about myself. Even lost the nagging headache I woke up with somewhere between shower and car keys.

Wow, I'm turning into a shave nerd...
