Thanked: 262 A few honed razors under my belt!
.
Prep: Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak Razor: 6/8 Robeson "Robeson's Best" & 5/8 Dame Stoddard & Kendall "Hub" razor both fresh off the hones Hones: 100/200 felt/3" Chestnut Strop Brush: 24mm Silvertip in Honey Locust Uber: TOBS Sandalwood & a chunck of Tabac AS: Alum Block Then OBR Limes & Peppercorn AS Edc: Blue Deep Result: I honed the Robeson yesterday using the same technique that worked on the "Hub" and it gave a DFS in 2 passes, but being the nerd I am I went ahead and did an ATG pass on my neck. It's as fine a shave as she has ever given me. It is so much more satisfying to get a good shave from your own edges. The pic today includes both razors since the Hub never got her chance to shine. My left cheek is still pretty much trashed, so I was extra gentle with it today and still managed a nice close shave without the addition of irritation.
Happy Shaving Men! It was a Lovely Weekend!

One of the best ones I've had so far!!! I just have to figure out the area around my mouth...especially the upper lip. More than one person has asked me if I'm growing a mustache...

A really fun shave with this big, heavy blade. It's extra long, so I had to watch my ears! The Noob Chronicle will be updated with the full story tomorrow. Have a great week, my SOTD Brothers! Extra special regards and congratulations to Basil!
