High Class | Semogue LE 2010 | Cade Uberlather | Thayers Rose | Cade ASB | Mazzolari Patchouly

Rene (NickNBleeding) sent me this razor to test his edge, which he felt was too harsh. I shaved with it on Monday, and had to agree with Rene's assessment, so, with his permission I gave it a go with my hones.

I taped the spine, and reset the bevel on my Naniwa 1k. Then I gave it the JNat treatment going through a progression of nagura (botan, tenjou, koma, nakayama honzan, and tomonagura) on my Oozuku Assagi. I then lapped the Oozuku using my Iwasaki-choice Nakayama and did 50 laps with water only on the Oozuku. I then used my Oozuku Suita with water only for 100 laps. By the end of the session, this High Class was popping arm hairs mid-shaft.

Today was the test shave for my honing, and the razor was just as its name says--High Class! The cade uberlather turned our perfect. It was moist and slick with excellent cushion. The blade sliced through the hair like a hot knife in butter. I had a very good DFS after one pass, but couldn't resist and found myself BBS after two! IMHO, this baby is ready to return to its rightful owner!

Great SOTD posts, gentlemen. Thank you for letting me place my humble offerings alongside such fabulous artwork!
