    I had ten shaves from one blade with no tugging yet. I will admit that I palm strop my blades, injector, AC and DE. I don't know if that contributes to the longevity?

    Boar Month - Shave #15
    Reduction Weekend #12

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: AA Gen Takahashi Tokusei
    Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    Lather: Stache Soap Works E Barber
    Aftershave: WTF Vintage Barbershop
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera

    Quick post as I am sitting in line waiting to board the ferry to Connecticut. My son has a lacrosse tournament this afternoon.

    I had a very nice shave with the Stache Soapworks E Barber and the Takahashi razor. The usual three passes did the job.

    Have a great day gentlemen. Probably touch back with you at some point this evening.

    Fine report, Paul. The Osage most likely did a fine job cleaning up and sealing the knicks.
