16th January 2013
Prep: Hot shower + cold splash
Soap: Cella
Brush: Custom Badger SilverTip 24mm
Razor: 5/8 Wade and Butcher, replaced by SS 5/8 Dovo (the W&B needs honing...)
Shave: 1 pass WTG
Astringent: Alum
A/S: Floid (Italian)
Wonderful BBS shave with no irritation.
With a proper lathering, Cella has some quite impressive performances!
At a recent meet up, one of the members asked if he could hone one of my blades for me to shave his edge. I gladly obliged and gave him this Robeson Sure Edge to work with. I'm pleased to say he did a nice job and I was left nearly BBS in two passes. The edge did not have the smoothness I am used to off of my JNats, but it left no irritation whatsoever and was nicely sharp.

Prep - None
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - Henckels Friodur 451
Brush - Simpsons QE II Jubilee Manchurian badger
Soap - Tabac puck
Post - Alum block followed by Thayers witch hazel
An "Oh Wow" cold water face lathered shave. Super close and comfortable shave. I am loath to touch up a pro honed blade and this one was done about 5 months ago but threw caution to the wind and touched it up on a Zulu Grey. It put the blade's edge back over the top for smoothness and sharpness. That hone continues to consistently impress. If your shave was as good as mine, and I hope even better, you are well on your way to a having a good day.

Loving this wide blade at 13/16" you don't have to rinse often and can get in a quick shave. Another day swamped at work. But I am feeling ready for the challenge!
Have a Great Wednesday Gents!
