Today I wanted to try the Imp again, so I thought about everything I read on SRP regarding sharpening and smoothing an edge. I figured the bevel was probably set at the factory since it cut the whiskers pretty well, but was harsh. Decided to run it a few laps on the Coti with just water. Went 25 laps very slowly on the Coti then stropped the blade well on a SR Premium 1

Since it was a day off for me, I went to lunch with a close friend at the River Palm. After lunch I went home and took a nice hot shower.

Stephens shave cream rubbed into my beard twice during the shower. This really softens my whiskers up.

Warm Oil
Hannah made Ceramic Bowl
AOS Shave Cream
Red Imp 133 full hollow (NOS second time used)
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Vaseline for men

I guess I did it correctly because the blade was sharp and very smooth. I did my normal first two passes and checked. Bingo!!! No third pass required, no touch up!!!

Great shave, now a quick nap until the warden gets home. Three generations of stuff in this Photo: My Great Grandfathers Cigarette box, my daughters clown from her crib and my razor.
