Result:I cleaned this razor up over the weekend and honed it up last night (1k/4k/8k Norton, 12k Naniwa, Escher). I did a 2 pass shave today and the blade gave a nice close shave. I think I can still squeeze a bit more out of her and will take her back to the hones.

Have a fantastic Tuesday everyone!

Cream: TOBS Eton College
AS: Alum Block, Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Agua Lavanda Puig

The jury is still out on this Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday shaving schedule. By yesterday afternoon I just felt too stubbly and too dirty to present myself in public. What there isn't any question about is this shave. After 20 plus shaves, I finally took the Boker back for a touch up hone and this razor was just ridiculous sharp! I could have quit after one pass and been more than presentable. I did two more just for fun though. If I'm only going to shave three times a week those three shaves will be Hollywood and CBS if nothing else. Strange mixed feelings here, part of me thinks that this shave felt so good because I skipped a day and another part of me says, "Hey, you could have done this yesterday too! Life's just too short for delayed gratification. Why not do something you love every day?"

Good morning Gents!

Fabulous shot and shave buddy. That's a great honing regimen, but I agree with you. This beautiful blade should get professionally honed until you get comfortable with the above honing regimen. And you will get comfortable for sure in no time.

Thanks Robert

I don't know if you have seen it, but Honed at B&B have done some experimenting, taking razors to a level of extrem shapness, I am sending this one and my DT12 to him for honing to test this. I am a little bit afraid they might get too sharp though.
