Monday OCtober 28 I honed up one of my Henckels wedge blades over the weekend so I wanted to try it out on one my Henckels Rapide's for today's shave. Bowl/Scuttle - GP12 Soap - MWF (it's Monday) Brush - Alpha Titanium Outlaw Fanchurian Blade - Henckels wedge (1) Razor - Henckels Rapide Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods Shave rating 4 of 5 I'm working on my honing skill and technique. I'm not good yet. I haven't shaved since Thursday, I honed the wedge on Friday and wanted a few days growth before I shaved with the wedge. Today I did a 2 pass shave. First pass WTG I felt some tugging so my honing job was not good enough. Aside from the tugging, the first pass results were ok. The second pass was XTG and was a surprisingly smooth shave and results were surprisingly good, DFS overall with some BBS areas on my cheeks down to my jawline. So my honing is getting better but is not quite good enough yet. The MWF provided a nice slick lather for my face. Aside from the tugging, I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was almost silent, just a couple small areas of noise. I finished off with the Clubman Whiskey Woods A/S. Overall, an pretty good shave. I think it's time to break out a couple of my current OC razors for the rest of OCtober. Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone. - Ken
