Prep: Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak
Razor: 5/8 Dame Stoddard & Kendall "Hub" razor
Hones: 100/200 felt/3" Chestnut Strop
Brush: 24mm Silvertip in American Ash
Uber: RazoRock XXX
AS: Alum Block & Jock Soap Tall Drink & OBR Sandalwood
Edc: NA
Result: Still shaving with this razor after honing it this week. I stropped the heck out of it, and it was plain old great! Smooth as silk and left me feeling NO sting from the ALum. The Jock Soap Tall Drink has a slight menthol scent to it, but it leaves you feeling very comfortable and soft. The OBR is one of my favorite scents to splash on. No Cologne necessary. I used my giant restaurant mixing bowl with my 6" Silvertip, and XXX makes a great lather once you get the water right. Today I managed to get the water right. This was one of my best shaves in a while, and I feel very gratified due to the effort involved in the learning curve honing. The extra stropping really pays off! The edge has actually gotten better than first off the stones.
