    If you are speaking of the Max Headroom list of Most Glorious Stanks, it probably tops it. Running short of the arm & leg required to obtain though.

    If you are speaking about 'your' list, my apologies for doing that may be in order.

    My sharpest razor, by far, is a Hart Steel I bought from @Keithmax. I still have a small scar from my first shave with it, which came from picking up the blade with a tiny R to L movement after a full pass. Almost a year later, I did the same thing yesterday. You move that blade horizontally so much as 1 mm and it will slice. Yowza!

    Wednesday Shave

    Today's shave features a smiling bade from Ali's Blade. I am not sure what I did when I honed it last time but this razor has a fantastic edge on it. This shave would have been epic but I missed a spot on my jawline. Not even a tingle from the alum. A most enjoyable shave.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

    Razor: Ali’s Blade
    Strop: Kanayama
    Brush: EDBIO Truffit and Hill made by Rooney
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Route 66
    AS: Razorock XXX AS, Creed ASB
    Scent: Creed Himalaya

    Next week, I'm going to our Senior Center for the Geneaology Club. It'll be my first time for this. I knew only one grandfather(my Mom's father), and he died long before I got into the Wet Shaving interest. I think he used a brush quite often though because I recall my Mom saying I should have one of his as a fond memory of him. This kind gesture by my Mom also came before the wet shaving interest.
