Took a break from shave-testing razors and shaved with the W&B. It was almost as good as a TEW shave. Sheffield is winning over my heart more and more these days.

Shower, hair conditioner soak, hot towel
Shavemac 501
Mama Bear Sandalwood Vanilla soap
Frederick Reynolds wedge
Alum block
Pinaud Bay Rum A/S

Decided to treat myself to a slow Sunday shave with the heavy FR wedge today, and have to say this was probably the best shave of my life.
I still struggle most days to get the sideways whiskers on one side of my neck close enough that I can't feel them if I run my hand across the grain, but I sure got them today.

First time with my new razor, ready honed and stropped:

3 days growth
Dovo Inox 5/8 Stainless
T4 GB Kent
Trumper's Coral Skin Food pre-lather
Trumper's Rose cream
Finish with Coral Skin Food

Very refreshing and problem-free shave.

Mon:
Rooney small style 1 brush
Gold Dachs Spezial soap
Hand American strop
6/8 Clauss USMC
Harris face milk

Removed a nick and honed it up yesterday, and it passed the various hair tests but gave a mediocre shave. I went from the Tam O' Shanter straight to the chrome oxide, and I suspect I shouldn't have skipped the shapton. I'll fix it tonight and try it again tomorrow.
