    Default Tuesday

    Good Morning Gentlemen, Todays Shave,

    Hone: I Honed this Razor last night, Pyramid Naniwa 5000, 8000, Finished on 12000.
    Strop: SRD Premium 1 Leather, 50 Polyweb, 100 Leather.
    Brush: Semougue, 1438, Boar Bristle
    Cream: Denim
    Razor: Dovo Master's, Grenadille Scales.
    Finish: Allume Di Rocca Naturale
    EDC: No 4711

    This is only the second time I've "Honed" a Razor, have no idea what I'm doing, just blindly followed the Pyramid guide in the Wiki, no testing etc, just did the prescribed number of laps from 15 down. And I am pleased to report that my false sense of security is completely intact and that I have maintained my 100% Honing success rate.

    Nice Smooth Shave, Enjoy your Day!

    Another shave for the record books!
