Razor: 11/16" C-Mon HF, Hollow, Spike Point
Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger
Überlather: Trumper's Violet Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
Cologne: 1967 Guerlain Habit Rouge
Result: Last night, in my continuing experimentation with edges, I honed my C-Mon with my "unknown quarry" Coticule bout. This was to experience the shave I get from this stone in comparison to the JNat. You're familiar with the thread, but you can read about the details of last night's honing experiment HERE. The "Coticulized" (that's my new word for the day ) C-Mon delivered a wonderful shave, but I prefer the edge I get from a JNat. The überlather today was as wonderful as ever and I love the scent of violet ...it subdues the soapy scent of MWF and complements its moisturizing properties. Quite a dynamic pair these two, I must say

Holy Cow, it's TGIF already ?? Time flies. Awesome SOTDs...but they are doing a number on my AD. Have a great Friday.

Great Looking C-mon Robert.

Yes it´s a really niffty razor. I love his strops and I´ve got a double bufallo/linen strop + a oil strop (finish of on that to get a protective surface on the edge). Wow, your SOTD:s are real good Robert, very pro like

Wonderful post today gentlemen.

I hear you...the reason I ask is I am getting (in the mail soon. hope) a Kamisori "Hanamasa" and will be ordering a Iwasaki soon. Looking forward to a new challenge in shaving (and honing).

Sadly, I was missing my H. Diamond that I sold off, so to remedy that, I got another. Shave this morning with this thing was amazing!
