    Day 16 of 30 days of straights

    I had ordered three new Henckel razors a couple of days ago. I received them yesterday. I had originally planned on sending them out to be honed. However, looking closely at all of the blades, I could see that they had a perfect edge on them. I grabbed the smallest ( the 4/8 round toe), stropped 40 times and proceeded to shave. This is a nice razor. I did cut myself twice through doing things I know I should not, but overall, I came out with at least a DFS.

    Does anyone know if Henckel razors have a good or bad reputation? These are the INOX (stainless steel) ones - 4/8 round toes #89 1/2, 6/8 round toe #17 1/2, and 7/8 square toe #17).

    My first shave with the Geo. W. Korn. I just got it back from Glen and it was a sweet shave. Even though it's in the picture I forgot to use the PSO. Normally this would result in a few nicks and weepers and some additional burn from the Alum. Not today. This one is an "instant keeper." Hats off to @gssixgun as the edge on this one was dinged up a good bit and had a possible crack. Amazing that you can hardly tell the loss of steel from getting a new edge put on it. :happy036:

    Brush: - Semogue SOC 2 Band Badger in Cherry Wood 24/53mm
    Lather: - Arko
    Razor: - Irving Barber Company (IBC) Shavette
    Blade: - Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (Guard) #1
    Post Shave: - T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent / Speck Aftershave / Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    Fragrance: - YSL L’Homme EDT

    The Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (Guard) is 100 times better than the Feather Pro Guard because the Feather Pro Guard is way too sharp for my sensitive skin since my neck was a bit red, I've been keeping my IBC shank close to my skin as possible for shallow angle using the Feather blade without pressure. So I've decided to used the Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (Guard) it was a very smooth mild blade which makes this shave a lot easier while I'm still learning throughout the whole shave with the IBC shavette, if your looking for a mild blade using either a Feather Artist Club SS, DX or a Irving Barber Company (IBC) shavette for the first time in life the Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (Guard) is the way to go for those who want to learn how to shave with Feather Artist Club SS, DX or a Irving Barber Company (IBC) shavette like a straight razor style.
