Good morning. Today's set up:
WH Morley clover 5/8 Barber's Notch
Badger brush
C&E Sienna soap plus KMF Unscented cream
Thayer's /Aqua Velva Blue / Sienna ASB
Sienna cologne
Yes, there IS a theme here :) My son's girlfriend gave me the Sienna balm for Christmas. I had an old Sienna soap that I dug out for this morning's shave.
I honed the Morley on January 1 as part of JaNorton, and I'm pretty pleased. The edge is not as nice as the Genco I honed at the same time, but it's pretty good. I might take it back to the stone and re-do the 8k, and try to polish the bevel a bit more.
