Pretty awful shave tonight to be honest. I've had a hard time getting a great edge on this Bengall and last night I gave it a little touch up.
didnt help much, infact it may be worse. It's got me scratching my head a little actually. I'll try it again next week.
We're off to Sydney in the morning to visit family, so I may not be around much over the next week
So enjoy your weekends guys and I'll see you when I see you.

Enjoy your weekend.

Jeff, Hope you have a Great time in DC. I envy you getting to meet Bill and Hiroko, plus if you go sightseeing I don't believe you can find a better place. I went on a field trip with the kids there once and it was outstanding. Have a safe trip.
Regards,

Hot shower prep

Someone really loved the old blade 'cause he rescaled it with wood and saddle rivets. Still a good shaver after a couple years since honing.
Pretty ain't Everything!

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

So I got to shave one of my own razors this morning, been a very busy week+ for me so I haven't seen much of my razors lately...


Prep: Hot shower and Noxema left on the face
Brush: Silvertip Restore
Soap: SRD Bulgarian Otto Rose
Strop: SRD Premium 1 25/50
Razor: Wacker
Shave: 1 Multidirectional pass, clear water touch up
A/S: Thayers Rose

This razor was honed last at the Yakima meet up with Garrit's FASO waterstone as a finisher, my first shave with it a few months back was just a tiny bit off for my face, so last night I stropped it with some .10 CBN on a Roo hide strop 10 laps, and then re-stropped it on an Illinois #627 50/100... The shave today was much more to my liking

Results: DFSS I'll let you guys figure that one out
