Strop: Vintage Blade 3"
Razor: Dovo 6/8 Manmoth Ivory

Result: CCS

Was up most the night sewing a young lady's ear back on after an ATV accident. Only got about two hours of sleep. Needed a "pick me up." The Proraso Pre really did the job. Pulled out the MW Lime. Have only used it a couple of times since getting it about 3 months ago, glad I did. Finally got the knack of whipping up a great bowl of lather. Only did two passes, but was a great start to the day. Have a great rest of the week and please be carefule out there!!!

-Man, the razor was sharp. Maybe too sharp. Is there such a thing as too sharp? Anyway, beside the numerous little weepers the shave was fun and enjoyable. I just laughed at the smalls pools if crimson. Deciding it was giving me a more colorful shave. Nice smooth feeling all across the face-

Ouuuchhhh...sorry for the weepers. My face can't take "too sharp" either. Personally, I like my edges smoother rather than ultra-sharp. Feels much better on the face and during shaving.
