Thread: November 26 - December 2

The first time this razor got ~9 out of 10 and while nice did not enter the circle of my select few. But I recognized the potential and like it anyway so it got some hone love.

I don't even know how many days w/o shaving
Hot shower
olive oil soap
BBW conditioner
L'Occitane CADE soap
Burma Shave brush
Large Moss scuttle
Tony Miller 3'' strop
The 8/8 W&B
Alum block
ice cube
Lucky Tiger AS Skin toner
L'Occitane CADE AS Balm

Very interesting feel this time from the razor. Mowed the growth very easily, much sharper than before, but did not feel very smooth, for some reason, as some other razors I have tried (such as 8/8 Fili). Nevertheless, 2 passes, no irritation / cuts and a great shave. Not BBS, which I never strive for anyway, just good and comfortable.

My lather had a bit too much water (not thin really, but not as I would prefer as I accidentally splashed some more water in the bowl and had to work extra to aerate it). I wonder if the strange lack of smoothness could have come from this?

This time I gave it 9+ and it is IN! If I can improve the smoothness it may go even up to 10.

Cheers
