    Tonight's shave was with an old Sheffield razor. Very smooth 2 pass shave. Thanks to the Arkansas Surgical Black Stone, touch up. Almost BBS results, with zero issues.

    Razor- Tillotson's Celebrated Razor. Sheffield
    Brush- Zenith Boar
    Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood
    Aftershave- Florida Water

    Everything was top notch this afternoon. Really like the Avon Wild Country.
    My newly restored Rubberset 200-4 is great.

    To be honest - this is not the best razor in my den. But I like it because it has my name on it :happy088:
    And this particular Route 66 soap was not my favorite scent at first ... but the more I use it, the more I enjoy it. Not much left thought - my sample might only last for 2 more shaves.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Faultless. Gave a decent shave but still working on my hone skills.

    today i used the Cattaraugus 11/16. with Cella cream and splash.vey nice:)
    also have some good news. @Billyfergie dont have to eat his socks:) lapped the black ark to 1k and then dry polished with 2k wet/dry paper,dry polishing is recommended on the ZG so thought it was worth a try on the ark as well.there was an edge improvement.not huge but some.

    I finished a couple of razors on the Arkie yesterday and the Wester Bros. was one of them. It provided a very nice shave but the difference was not as much as I expected. When I finished, I realized I had not completed the process by stropping the freshly honed blade on the scrub and finished leather. Arghhh. :sad038: Needless to say, the other razor I took to the Arkie has now been properly stropped and is ready to go on Saturday. :happy088:

    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood
    Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. MMMMM MMMM GOOD

    That is a scary looking razor. I've given up on spike points and heels.

    Some American Steel, Challenge Cutlery. This was a challenge to get a good shave, initially. It took three trips to the hones to get it dialed in. What an exceptional razor since then. A nice heavy smooth shave every time. Three passes tonight for a smooth BBS comfortable shave.
