    Thanks again Doug. A bit different style on this one, Lol. Seeing your comment I realized I cut and pasted the wrong shave soap, but corrected now. I really like Kiritimati. It is good stuff.

    First shave with this one. I just finished fully restoring it, and honing it. This has an unusual edge, to me. It is a 1/4 Hollow Grind, but tapers off, to a very thin edge, about 1/16 is very thin. This makes it a very stiff blade, like a wedge, but some flexibility, like a Full Hollow grind. In the end, it takes on a wickedly sharp edge. I had a very very smooth 2 pass shave, on two days growth, that left me BBS. My new favorite razor.

    Razor- C-MON, by Carl Monkhouse.
    Brush- JR#262(@Jayaruh ), WD Silvertip Knot
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
    Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice.

    A smooth and very efficient shave today. The Ascension went through a days worth of stubble with extreme ease aided by the Wickham 1912 lather. The glide, slickness and cushion that it provides is up there with some of the best imho. Have a great evening and great shaves all..... ;)

    Thanks Douglas, this one took some time. It's kind of a hard one to come by, and I wanted to do it right.
