Hey SOTD brothers...so i am trying to get my honing legs if you will and so today i did a first shave test with the two razors i picked for this "Rocky Road to Sharp"

Wasn't the best shave but any shave with a straight you honed yourself in my book is a GOOD SHAVE!

so here goes:

PREP:
as always Shower and Proraso

SOAP:
MWF....have neglected "the fat" and shouldn't be!

BRUSH:
Capshaw Custom Silvertip

SCUTTLE:
used the G5 but also did a bunch more face lathering that i normally do....my jury is still out on the face lathering

RAZORS:
NEW ENGLAND RAZOR Co. made in BOSTON (maybe) that is a bit over 6/8 Square Point nothing fancy here but a user
the Second was a EDWARD WECK: RIGIDEDGE 5/8 French Point...horn scales that need to be replaced but that will happen soon enough.....why spend time replacing scales if you mess up the edge cause you can't hone!

POST:
Tepid Water, Alum, Cold Water, Thayer's, Clubman Splash......and some Woodford Reserve!

MUSIC:
Owl City....not my "go to" music but really dig them and they do some cool stuff

All in all it wasn't a bad shave if you read the link theres a bit more about the shave but it could have been A LOT worse!

have a great week guys!!!
