TOBS Sandalwood Cream Wolf Whiskers Brush Kikuboshi 600 Strop Kikuboshi 3600 Razor Thayers WH Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS My first DFS with a razor that I honed myself. It's a good day Have fun!
I can't take all the honors but I asked for the Barbers notch a 8/8 a half hollow grind with a slightly longer tail and a slight smiling blade so I definitely influenced the overall design of the razor.
Today I used my new to me Temperite by Case 5/8 wedge. I honed it up last night and got a DFS this morning. Like I've heard before about wedges, they're silent shavers. I really like the feel of this razor... the grip, the weight, nice cutting edge, etc... I can't wait to use it again!

Most everyone here might recall that I jumped into SR shaving back at the end of January of this year. Some shaves have been good and others on the bloody side. However, it's fair to say that most every shave is better than the last. Well, almost 100 shaves later and I think I've finally gotten the shave I've been looking for! I broke out the Kiebitz this morning and 2 passes later I ended up with a BBS on half my face and DFS everywhere else! I think I'm finally getting the hang of XTG and ATG. Anyway, paired up with Stirling glacial lemon chill, Stirling synthetic brush and some Aqua Velva musk and I'm ready to face another day!
