Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Hart 7/8
Strop: Illinios 827, SRP Prem. I
Brush: Semogue 610
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna
A/S: Alum Block, Thayers Rose Witch Hazel, C&E Sienna A/S Balm

Result: Second shave with this razor. First shave was out of the box, no stropping, and it had trouble ATG. This morning, I gave it a good stropping and, WOW, what a difference. It shaved like a perfectly honed razor, silky smooth, AGT all over my face, BBS, and the lack of sting with the alum block tells me all is well. The artisan put a pro edge on this blade, and once again, I am a firm believer in the power of stropping.

Off to church with the family, then I'll be grilling some ribs and swimming this afternoon. I hope you all have a good Sunday, and Happy Cinco de Mayo to those who celebrate it!
