    Lovely Supply shave with an excellent knot! I really like the SynBad knot on my MrEE LE brush.

    Danny, may I answer for Scott? You always have to strop your razor before every shave. I know Scott recommended 35 linen and 35 leather, but stropping on linen is not necessary. I do 40 to 60 laps on leather. I occasionally will strop on linen to make sure my razor is dry after I let the razor air dry following my shave for 20 min. I am not saying I am right and that Scott is wrong. Every straight shaver maintains their razors differently. I am just giving you another option. One more thing, if you are not going to use the razor for more than I week, then you need to oil it to prevent oxidation.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: AA Gen Takahashi Tokusei
    Brush: Hembree Derlin Paragon Boar 25 mm
    Lather: Dr. Jon’s Gravity
    Aftershave: Stirling Electric Sheep - Glacial
    Osag eRub
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel
    Nivea Cool Balm

    Most excellent shave on the hot day here on LI. I decided to go with the Glacial Electric Sheep splash along with the Osage Rub to provide a wonderful cooling effect.

    Excellent three pass shave once again. This Japanese razor is a pleasure to use. Easy to maneuver and provides a super close shave.

    Hope you all are staying cool. Have a great evening gentlemen.

    There is no foul in upgrading a straight razor focus to a sharper open edge tool.
    :cool:

    Awesome shave Jason. You may have inspired me to break out my Omega Pro in the Jayaruh handle for tomorrow.

    Another quick shave in the books.

    ProGuard blade on board Essence razor
    Dab of Derby Brushed up by Tuxedo
    Stirling Glacial Citron

    The more I use this stuff the more I like it.

    Loading and unloading the blade is especially nice with the magnetic mechanism.
