    Wonderful SR shave today with the freshly honed Red Point 917. I had some issues honing this bad boy. The edge kept micro chipping. Brought it to a local hone master and he got it sharp.
    Paired the shave with some Stirling Tuscany and the HJM synthetic.
    Satisfying start to the day.

    Tonight's shave was with a freshly acquired(thanks @Stu929 ), restored, and honed razor. This razor took a very sharp edge, and delivered a 2 pass, near BBS shave. I have a couple of these "Clover Brand" razors, and all are very nice, well built, excellent shaving razors.

    Razor- W.H.Morley & Son's, Clover Brand Razor. Germany.

    I recently touched up my Wade and Butcher "elite" in my 12k Naniwa stone, but didn't use it till this morning. It was a nice and smooth 3 pass shave and I'm nearly BBS.

    Tonight's shave was with a freebie, that came along with a travel hone/strop combo. Thanks for the heads up @Spyder .

    The razor was an easy cleanup and restore. Everything was straights as an arrow, and honed up beautifully, to give a 2 pass DFS, with slight irritation. I just came back from the swimming pool, and the Sandalwood slightly irritated the skin. Other than that, it was a perfect shave, no issues.
