Results: An Invigorating shave with the Duck today :tu. Refreshed her edge (after a long time of no usage) on the CrOx leather for a few very light laps, cleaned her off under hot water and dried and then gave her a nice long stropping with my Ambrose. I never had very good luck with pastes and CrOx in general, but today, I must have done something right. I was rewarded to a ultra sharp and smooooooooth edge (just the way I like themhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif). The Simpson whipped up a nice fragrant lather out of the Rose/Violet concoction. The prep was marvelously luxurious and refreshing:y. The RazoRock ASB is every bit as good as they say it is...If you haven't tried this stuff, you don't know what you're missing (and no...I wasn't paid to say this :p |
