PS; Not all wedges are created equal though. They sure feel different

As always I started with a King combo 1000/6000 starting each side with slurry diluting to water. I then went onto a coticule (Novelle vein) with slurry but it took it backwards in keenness. I then switched to the hybrid side of a Les Lats which I have and that helped a bit but not greatly. I think the Coti's were a little slow and I probably would have gotten there eventually but I chose to move onto a Dragons Tongue which worked much better, and finished it on my Olive Green hone which might be a Charnley, or might not. Followed that with a Crox strop and it was sweet.

3 pass shave to bliss. Great whip cream lather. I had not shaved for a few days and the Geneva took care of it with flying colors. All the razors in my rotation got a 12K/16K run followed by a 6 pass CrOx Balsa run. (I have come to determine this is where I like my edges) Nice and sharp with not one hint of harshness. Over the last few days after getting back I have been deep into the abyss of cleaning firearms, honing knives and razors and generally getting caught up on all things slacking...Nice reward today and great posts everyone!!!
