Wonderful shave. I stropped it about 100 laps on felt, then 100 on cowhide and finished with 150 on horsehide before shaving with it today. It's been a few months since she was out of the case, so I wanted to be certain the edge was clean and smooth. It did not disappoint, let me tell ya. Smooth!!! Clean in 2 passes and comfortable as could be.

Hope all are having a great weekend!!! I've been loving the razor porn as always, keep the great pics and shaves coming!!

Long day working in the yard today. 103 degrees, so in and out! Early shower and late shave! MAN, what a nice one. This razor is one I "smiled" myself a while back. One of my most comfy and effective shavers! AWESOME!

Everybody have a GREAT week!

Monday

First shave with the new Jernbologet frameback this morning. I honed this on Sunday morning after spending hours polishing it over the last week. I started with circles on 800 Wet and Dry wrapped around the Norton hone (I don;t have a 1k hone), then did circles on the Norton 4 until it cut leg hairs. I then did a ‘pyramid’ thing of 20 x 4, 20 x 8, 19 x 4, 20 x 8, 18 x 4, 20 x 8 all the way to 1 x 4, 20 x 8. I then did 20 laps on the Shapton 16k. I tested it through all that only with the initial shaving of leg hair and a thumb pad test at the end. I think one can quite easily tell if a razor is shave ready just using the thumb pad test. This morning's shave proved that theory, however an edge can always get better. Maybe 10 more on the Shapton on the W/E, or even back to the 8? I want this one 'scary sharp'. It's up to it, I think, it can do it. Because I'd polished the blade over maybe four or five hours with Wet and Dry (400, 600, 800) the edge was quite dull.

The finish on the razor isn't perfect, but I want to stop here as I'm afraid of wrecking the scales. I've been told they're leather; and I'd have to agree with that. Leather scales to me seem quite rare; I've not heard of that before...

I made an Überlather with Body Shop Macca Root, Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn and glycerine. The D. H. Harris Bay Rum aftershave and the Pashana Bay Rum Hair Tonic went well together of course.
