    Razors: Kanenaga kamisori
    Prep: Bald Frog Eucalyptus Balm
    Brush: Vie Long horse
    Soap: Bald Frog Tangerine
    A/S: Chrome
    Result: A great shave.

    I received my Kanenaga kamisori today. It was sharp, but not shave ready. I gave it two 7:1 cycles on my barber hone and six or seven 7:1 cycles on my PHIG using lessening pressure on the edge, and it was ready to go (thanks to Glen's kamisori honing video for technique). I was able to shave with the ura away from my face, and got a great shave with just a little irritation. It was different, but a lot of fun.

    A great shave for my 55th Birthday. It was the 3rd, but after working my first full week at my new company, I was exhausted. I didn't get to shave until bedtime, so I didn't get to post this until today. I got to use several B-day gifts from my wife and son for this shave. The Eton College is one fantastic Bond Street blend. What a great scent it is, and now to have matching cologne is a lot of fun.

    Talk about a lazy morning!! I slept 9 hours for the first time in forever!!! It was wonderful.

    During this fantastic shave, which it was, 3 pass BBS, I never nicked or cut myself anywhere. Clean and smooth as a whistle. Then while trying to pose my gear, I ran my index knuckle across the edge and cut my finger a good one.

    Who knew Photography could be so deadly!! hehehe.

    Have a great weekend folks.

    Mike,

    Happy birthday, and sorry to hear about the cut. But look at the bright side, it's not a cut that will prevent you from enjoying another shave tomorrow!
