    April 16th

    Proraso PS - Red
    @jtspartan 2019 LE 30dc w/Omega 10049 boar knot
    Toyo Hasimoto 6/8 777
    Asylum Shave Works SS & AS - Old Virginia
    Thayers Witch Hazel - Lavender

    2.5 pass DFS+ result today. One slight weeper above the lip, no biggie, stopped on it's own before the second pass. Fourth outing with ASW Old Virginia shave soap (production by Wet Shaving Products). First three outings with Old Virginia SS I never seemed to get it quite 'perfect', but today's H2O to soap ratio along with a good bit of bowl whipping produced some joy. Jason's craftsmanship along with an Omega boar & I finally was rewarded with a super yogurty thick lather, slight cream color. Lather slinging fun.

    The Toyo Hasimoto 777.....blade is German steel, German ground. However, this razor's finishing work is done in Japan (final edge, scales, etc.). Super thin ground full hollow, insanely smooth & sharp, this razor requires full attention. Tons of audible feedback as it gets the job done.

    Small dose of Thayers WH at the end of the shave again today, awesome skin feel, lasts for hours. Finished with ASW's Old Virginia AS.

    Hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday!

    Beautiful razor! Handle almost reminds me of the art deco GEM 1912 handles... Almost.

    Excellent lineup and photo Dan. Mystic Water is some great stuff. If you are a lavender fan, MW Jeff’s Lavender is fantastic

    I heard someone mentioned that they like the bigger slots... I was sure to come and look at what they were talking about before informing the mods. :happy097:

    Seriously: great shave, Gary. I've loaded a Feather into my tech... Tired of being stubbly after a shave :happy102:
