    Beautiful. Don't you love how many razors "tweaked" their specs for different markets?

    Incredible setup and photo, Blair. Nice ride today, too. Were you listening to "Marathon" by Rush? ;)

    Thank you Bruce! The razor was honed last July and it truly helped me gained confidence in honing. The resetting of the bevel on my Dovo Special earlier this year really established me in my journey. I am just glad that I am able to maintain and hone my straights. The Mad Max and my Wosty near wedge will be sent out to Max Sprecher and the guy who sold me the Wosty for honing.

    Is it just me, or are the graphs eerily close to those of cooking brisket?

    Sunday's Shave

    Today has been very hectic so this will be just a drop in post. I will try to catch up on the thread later today.
    I made time for a great shave though. 2 passes today for a DFS+ finish and no irritation or mishaps.

    Schick Type L
    Personna Blade
    Turn-N-Shave 'Potluck'
    LEA Shaving Soap Stick
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    LEA 3 in 1 Aftershave Balm

    The LEA Balm is one of the best I have used. Earlier, I did finally open my sample of the PAA Star Jelly aftershave to compare to LEA. This LEA Balm has the same consistency as the Star Jelly aftershave, but feels better, has a cleaner and fresher neutral scent, with the same medium menthol kick.

    See y'all soon and I hope everyone is having a great day!
