Prep: Hot Shower
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik

Result: Nice smooth shave. BBS except for a bit under the chin due to being slightly hurried.
The razor was a beater I bought to see what the fuss was about Clauss blades. It can take a good edge - after cleaning, I followed a Chosera 1k, Coticule, JNat, Y/G Escher progression. The microscope showed the usual bright saw-toothed line at 100x that I often see, so I put it under a few laps on a La Lune Special Stone. That helped eliminate it and bring the razor to full sharpness.
Stropped on a Kanyama "3" shell strop for a couple hundred laps and had a very nice, smooth shave. Edge as expected is a little deformed afterwards.
Razor: John Heiffor
Cream: Palmolive
Brush: Horsehair custom

Cold water face lathered shave. Stupendous shave after yesterday's W&B debacle. The real surprise was just how good the Kiss My Face soap was as I bought it on a flyer. Have a good weekend.
