    Japanese Hikari 5/8 performed wonderfully today. The neck is still just DFS, but lighter pressure and experimentation with angles is slowly getting it closer to a BBS. One day the baby will come with the straight. Make it a great Monday.

    A comfortable 2 pass shave. Not the closest shave, but quick, easy, and enjoyable enough for a Monday.

    Enjoy your day.

    I came to work this morning and had a package on my desk that came in Saturday morning. I opened it up and found this. Our janitor ran into my office because he though I had spilled some Pine-sol. Guys I love y'all but this is definately taking one for the team. I'll see how this stuff does in the morning.........................I think. I had to take it out and put it in the truck....co-workers are a little nauseated.

    I see that cup of coffee has set in, Charlie. Touche. (For those of you in Kentucky, this is pronounced Too-SHAY).

    Stirling Glastonbury~~Rubberset 400/3~~Ralf Aust 5/8
    SR #57
    Back at the Glastonbury today in an attempt to redeem my lather-producing skills.
    Last time, I didn't use enough H2O and even though the lather appeared to be well-hydrated
    the results said otherwise.
    I did pre-wet the puck...otherwise known as "Blooming"...:cool:
    I went directly to the face and dipped the bristles in the water at least 10 times...minimum.
    The lather took on a lovely sheen while maintaining its integrity.
    The razor today is a Ralf Aust 5/8, which is a serviceable razor, but no where near the quality of some of my other razors,
    even the imprinting of the name on the tang is sub-par.
    First, I lapped the blade about 8 times on my CrOx-impregnated linen strop and then with the
    Wladimir Slavin for 50 laps.
    Nice results today. No nicks, cuts or weepers.
    Dragging was minimal, except for around the chin, and only when shaving ATG.
    Post-shave was not nearly as dry as last time.
    The AS, which has the SWMBOSOA, completed the job nicely, too.
    Good Shave.    ​
