I messed up the lather and got a to thin lather, it worked, but not very nice, so I only did two quick passes and got a better shave than the vast majority of all men on earth

Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK32 Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan Soap: Institut Karite After shave: TOBS Mr.Taylors Results: First try with the Institut Karite, could have been better, could have been worse. I think the problem was that I didn't get to load the brush enough cause I had to chase the puck around the bowl. Still it wasn't too bad, just a little thin and I got a nice and quite comfortable shave.

Nice two pass shave tonight. This razor was honed by Lynn about 2 years ago. Other than a few passes on a 12K and CroX the edge has been just wonderful, as it was tonight.
Enjoy the evening.

Prep: Hot shower / Hot towel soak / Rise baby face gel rub
Brush: 24mm Silvertip in American Ash
Soap: Godrej all by itself, and it did wonderfully over the gel
Strops: 50 Hard Felt / 100 Leather / 100 horsehide each
Razors: Today was a comparison between new German Steel in the 5/8 Boker 'King Cutter' and my 5/8 Shapleigh 'The Shapleigh Barbers' each is a hollow ground
AS: OBR Limes & Peppercorns
EdT: OBR Original Cologne
Results: I found the Boker to have a slightly 'keener' edge and removed more stubble in a single pass, but the Shapleigh was silkier to the skin. Each left the face feeling very clean in 1 pass, the second pass equaled everything up so that both sides of the face were DFS in 2 passes. Excellent shave for a Monday (I hate Monday's)!! Please note the tiny raindrops on the scales, it's a nice cool day today with a little rain falling! After yesterdays high of 82, todays cool 45 feels wonderful!!
Happy Shaving my Brothers in Blades! Have a great week...
M-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --

I picked up this King razor (Indiana PA) on ebay for a decent price, and it arrived a few weeks ago just needing a polish with some Maas and a trip to the Norton 4k/8k. I honed it two weeks ago, and in retrospect I realize that I didnt pay much attention (any???) to the bevel setting (enjoying a glass of rye whsiky while honing might have had something to do with that) and it was such as rough shave.... damn near killed me!
I put it aside until Sunday and I took it back to the hone and worked it slowly and acrefully, and used a loupe to check the edge as I went. Much better edge this time and a very nice, smooth comfy shave this morning. The Trumpers SS is pretty nice too - I had forgot about this one, and have had two great shaves with it this weekend.
