PREP: Hot shower and conditioner

BRUSH: Shavemac Silvertip

SOAP/CREAM: Custom Vetiver blend Bomb

RAZOR: Robert Williams Barbers Notch

STROP: Kanayama Cordovan

AS: Alt Insbruck

COLOGNE: Domenico Caraceni 1913

RESULT: Every once in a while you have a shave where everything just "clicks." This was one of them! The lather today had to be in my top-5 all time. The water/cream mixture hit exactly in the sweet spot and I was left with some of the most luxurious lather you could ever dream of. Even better, I did two full passes, plus touch up and could have shaved two or three other people with the lather left over! The Robert Williams razor performed flawlessly as always, and I walked out of the den with a face that would make a newborn jealous. Topped it all off with some AI aftershave and a dose of DC 1913 and I can now take on the world!

Well i honed 2 more razors last night. So now there are 6 to test shave not counting this one. I brought out the Guillermo Hoppe and honed her up. She was a nice easy honing. What a beautiful big blade she is. 2 passes with no need for a touch up.
