I usually save this razor for 3-4 day beards, because its just great at mowing down that type of growth, but tonight I decided to give it a break from the heavy work and put it up against a simple 1 day beard.
Of coarse it gave a spectacular shave, BBS all the way

Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys

Very nice shave today. Either the stropping or the shaving (or both) are coming on nicely.

Oscar.

I was able to pick up some C&E soap locally. So i decided to give it a try. For $20 why not. Nice scent, great lather. Needs more cushion and glide but great scent and will be great for and Uber.

Terrific shave all around...I feel good about the strides I've made with my straight razor technique to the point that I can consistently get shaves that rival my DE shaves. And today will be better than yesterday.

That's a great looking rescale by Buddel Tom...but if you like Buddel, you should see (and try) what Max can do

Oh I will get it down, may just take a bit, I'm trying to get her to send me a nice Nikon that she doesn't use anymore, then I could try and take pics like you guys !!! That would be sweet.

The camera will make a bigger difference than PS, imo. Better quality photos than cell phone. Is your sister a photographer or graphic artist?

Fabulous shot and razor Grant. I thought I would be alone in earmarking certain blades for certain kinds of growth (1 day, 2 day, etc...). Glad someone else has joined in the fray, LOL. Well done. BTW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lilly.

Excellent hardware/software Oscar. In the future, may you have even better shaves than today.

Robert,
if the distance to Max would be the same as the distance to Gabor (70miles to Dresden) I would have a problem with my credit cards
But when we are the next time in California and Nevada...we'll speak a little bit German with Max!

Thank you Robert, it´s fun now and again to DE shave and this is a sweet shaver (a British Aristocrat no 15 and this one is the two best ones I´ve tried).
