I had an urge to shave with the W&B tonight. Its just so much fun to shave with.
3 slow luxurious passes and I'm smooth as a baby's butt, and my face feels fresh & fantastic.
What a great 1st shave of the year.

Excellent photography, Grant...and the razor ist a beauty.
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Pre-Shave: A warm shower Brush: Thäter LE SRP 2011 Razor: Filarmonica Sub Cero #14 Honing Regimen: Norton 4/8K Strop: Neil Miller Cordovan Shell/genuine linen. Soap/Cream: Castle Forbes Lime Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White Astringent: Alum After shave Balm: Castle Forbes Lime EdT: Penhaligon's English Fern Results: I've decided to join in on the JaNorton event on SRP. That means there will be only 2 different razors to use for me in January. And they will be honed on a Norton 4/8K hone, followed by a stropping without pastes. I look forward to this event, should be very educational and a lot of fun. Todays Shave was quite decent. Good products and a reasonable edge. Sure, it could have been smoother/sharper, but it shaved, I'm smooth and without burns of any kind.
