Excellent news. As long as your stropping skills are good, it should hold its edge, for a long long while.

Razor: Gillette reg Super speed flare tip B2-1956 2nd qtr, mild razor and designed for quick shaves, I like a wider Kai blade to give a little extra blade feel. I can get some decent shaves with this razor.
Blade: Kai SS (6) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with great longevity. extra wide by .009 thousands of inch or .0045 per side wider than a standard Gillette for more blade exposure or feel.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & sandalwood, I enjoy this clove fresh scent, good lather qualities(slickness is good when wet)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Moka express synthetic, excellent lather creator, heavenly cloud like soft tips with a nice scrub + great lather painter. Nice eye candy and reasonably priced on sale when I bought it, I pushed the buy button as usually on sales.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel rinse + Ogallala Bayrum & sandal wood (clove) + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: 9/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =excellent shave with my Gillette SS flare tip with a Kai SS blade.


Have some great shaves!

For some unintended reason....I seem to have had a run of Shavette shaves.It has been 2 weeks so far....and though I would have considered myself no slouch with a shavette.....it is amazing just how much technique has been fine tuned!
2 passes and a touch up for a wonderful result

 

thank you Matt..it was lovingly restored ,weighted and reknotted in badger by a fellow TSD member.
