Prep:Hot towell
Brush: TGN custom 24mm
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream: Polo like bomb
Razor: B.J. Eyre Wedge (just finished up the restore, more pics later)
After shave: Al's custom ASB Polo like
EDT: Polo Blue
Result:This blade is one I started on about 7 months ago. The scales are bone and cleaned up very nice. The blade has some very deep pitting and I will likely leave the deepest sections to avoid destroying her. This was my first time honing a wedge...and one with a smile...grrrr. The shave was good, not great, some more work to do on the hones.
Thanks to all for an amazing week!

Thanks Tom! I used 1 layer of tape through out the honing process (changing to a new piece after each grit). It's a slight smile (crappy cell phone pic, no time to set up the light box today) and the heel was the problem area, had to really focus on the rolling x pattern to improve it. I can't wait to see the frameback, sounds very nice!
Cheers!
