WOW! This was the final exam for this razor and I had not shaved since Thursday morning so there was plenty of stubble. It probably would have done fine without the quick touch up hone but just to ensure it would crush the final exam I gave it a quick couple laps on the stone. The results were truly spectacular! This was probably amongst my top 5 shaves ever. The plan was two passes then a baby oil gel touch up. I was very close to BBS after the first pass, did the second pass but there was nearly nothing left to cut so I never bothered with the third pass (touch up.) Of course the natural finish for such an epic shave is my Dad's favorite scent, English Leather (Here's to ya Pop!)

Touched up the BB on the Thuri, got an excellent smooth and sharp edge, awesome!
