I have 4 razors in my rotation and this is the strangest - doesn't like to lie flat on the strop and doesn't shave as close as the other razors I bought from altima - I'm going to give it a few passes on my pasted padle to see if that helps - any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Edwin Jagger Best Badger Brush
Lil Bit of Nature Bath Products, Green Clover & Aloe Extra Lather Shaving Soap
(Got this glycerine soap from one of the n00bs in TN [can't recall who, sorry
] for honing his razor and it's a nice fresh scent. works like a dream too, lathers easy and not too drying.)
Thayer's Witch Hazel Skin Astringent with Aloe as AS
THE PROCESS
12 laps on the linen
48 laps on the leather
hot bath
1 pass with/across the grain with lather
1 pass against with hot water only
cold water splash to the face
wipe down the razor with rubbing alcohol
post shave stropping, 12 laps on the leather
The whole job was done by candle light since the power was out. What a great experience.

This razor has been a favorite from day one but I've been working through some new ones and hadn't used it in a few weeks. It reminded me today why I like it so much.

Finally got the Sprock up to the par of the rest of the rotation since going 0.5. Used my own blend of Colleen's unscented testers and Malizia Vetyver. The scent overpowered DBR that I used as an aftershave and is lingering nicely without being too strong. Yaaay me
