    Shave prep: Evening shave, so just a splash of hot water
    Brush: D.R. Harris
    Preshave: Proraso
    Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Sandalwood
    Scuttle: Simple soup bowl
    Razor: Max Sprecher Custom 8/8 square point - 1/4 hollow, M3 Mokume gane
    Strop: Kanayama 20 canvas strokes and 80+ strokes on the leather
    After Shave Splash: Nivea aftershave Balm

    Notes: Afraid to ruin Max’s edge from new, when honing this MSC , I was cautious but still confident that I could bring back a keen edge. I took it on a few laps on the Norton 4/8k, then finished it on a Naniwa SS12k and balsa+Cr02. I protected the back with tape and also used a black marker to see how my edge was doing. Already after the Naniwa, arm hair went like wiping off with a towel.

    This first shave just went fabulous!
    Comfortable and with a soft and BBS result.
    Whoa!
