Thread: Sun March 11th - Sat March 17th

Prep:	Hot Shower / Rise Baby Face Gel on 2nd pass
Razor:	6/8 G&F Timor Hamburg Ring fresh off the hones
Hones:	King 800, King 1k, Norton 4/8k, 150 laps Cnat with slurry, 5 Diamond, 10 CrOx, 100 felt, 100 Horsehide, 100 Chestnut
Brush:	24mm Silvertip From Whippeddog
Uber:	Tabac + 4 drops Glycerine
AS:	Alum Block + Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Edc:	Canoe
Result:	This is the maiden shave for this razor, bought new last November. After months of trying to get a bevel set, seriously at least 10 tries due to a slightly warped grind on one side, the rolling X's came through! I was able to get it set, hone it to shave ready on the 8k and got brave before bedtime last night and polished it a little more on the Cnat. It shaved as good as any razor I have honed yet. The alum tells the tale and it was the same sting I get from my best blades. The vegetal is growing on me slowly so I keep trying it. The Canoe is a great scent that seems to go with the Vegetal scent very well.

Happy Shaving Gents!!

Mike

Thank you my friend! Rudi Stehlo is also Hungarian. Therefore, I chose his razor today. He lives in Solingen, but he is very ill and not working. Here's a last photo with her:
