    I don't disagree with your opinion on the Omega knot, Keith.

    Understood, Joe, but being a bit OCD, I routinely strop before the shave, and afterwards routinely disassemble the safety razor and dry the parts. I don’t oil the safety razor blades ever, only the straights.

    A Saito is really the only SR I would like to add to my meager den. Beautiful, Keith. How do you modify your technique, if at all, to compensate for the curved blade?

    I’m really growing attached to the blade on this little Tanifuji Airi. It is so smooth and sharp. I know this may stir up a bit of controversy, and I never dreamed I would be saying it, but I do believe my face shaves seem closer than my dome shaves. They are both VBBS. It may be due to this cream lubricant that Ben recommended for my straight shaves. It has no soap whatsoever in it, and is definitely not recommended for safety razor use, too thick and gunky. Apparently this is the only stuff that his honemeister guru has shaved with for the past 25 years. It’s called Lush Prince Shave cream. As I said before, it’s too thick for safety razors. (Gums them up). The jury’s still out, but my first outing was quite positive. It doesn’t lather, but can be applied with a brush. In any case the Tanifuji delivered a lovely mug shave. My Blackland Vector loaded with a Feather Super cleaned up my dome and all is right with the world. I feel refreshed, cool, clean and velveteen. I’m off to have breakfast with Kyle Evans, one of the twin founders of Colonial Razor. Hope everyone has a great day!

    RAZOR: Tanifuji Airi (Mug), Blackland Vector (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather Super AC
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
    BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
    CREAM/SOAP: Lush Prince (Mug), Mitchell’s Wool Fat (Dome)
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings on dome followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.

    I’m not really aware of what change I made. The difference isn’t that big. I find shaving my neck is easier with a smiling blade.

    Thank you Joe. The scent is really light. My wife bought this as a gift for me. The cream works ok but it is not something I would recommend buying. However, I am going to use the stuff up as fast as I can. :D
