Vegetables run from that fast. I figure you should be able to hold the knife edge up and slice your maters by dropping them on the edge. For knives I stop at a leather bench strop pasted with CrOx. For razors, I take cBN pasted balsa to 0.10 micron then unpasted roo.
Monday March 8, 2021 Razor: Schick N1 Injector Blade: Schick Twin (5) Brush: Turn N Shave/Fanchurian Soap: Strop Shoppe Russian Tea AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70 AS 2: Skin Bracer Fragrance: Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent Back to the N1 Injector with a Twin blade in it for shave 5. I had this past week Focused on singe edge razors as I have joined a forum is ONLY for SE razors. Others are referred to as "Unmentionables" It's unfortunate that you can't mention or post about anything except SE razors because it will obviously limit my SOTD posts there. I LOVE my SE razors but also my others as I just dig ALL the history of razors thru history. I do understand their wanting to have a focus on just the SE razors though and respect it. I will be grabbing this one fairly often as I am curious about the Twin Blade longevity and whether it will go (comfortably) the 20+ shaves it is said to be capable of. #5 was smooth, close and comfortable. Grabbed one of my favorite scents from an old time and now gone soap maker - Russian Tea from Strop Shoppe. Frank @Dragonsbeard , I know you have a ton of things going on in that brain of yours but if you could do a great Russian Tea with STRONG scent strength you would pull me from my "NO MORE SOAPS until I use some up" position. Topped off with some smelly stuff and ready to get out the door for a long day after some coffee and forum perusing. Have a Stellar Day everyone !!
Shavette Shave # 126 Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Razor Retro Shavette Blade: Kai Captain Pro Titan Pro Touch MG Brush: Jayaruh 381 Badger/Boar Lather: Loose Screw Uncomfortably Numb (1508.5) Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Pure Lavender Toner Additional Care: Stirling Alum Block Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera Cold morning here on LI did not deter me from having an iced water shave. Fabulous three passes with the Shavette has left my face smooth and velveteen as Jeff, @jgreenepa, would express. I am smelling good with the relaxing scent of the CL Pure Lavender. Definitely a easy scent to deal with throughout the day with a mask on. Have a great day gentlemen.
I keep a couple of diamond pasted Stropman strops alongside my knife block for freshening up. A few are too far gone for the strops. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

March 8th Razor: Feather AS-D2 Blade: Feather NHS (2) Brush: Grizzly Bay FireOfUdun Pre-shave: PAA Cube Soap: DG Darkfall PAA Galactic Witch Hazel PAA Star Jelly AS: DG Darkfall Good morning! Rude awakening this morning, the alarm clock! Took me a bit to figure out what was going on. Terrific shave with the AS-D2! Three passes for near BBS. Completely silent alum. Hoping for a quick easy last day. The only thing of importance on the agenda is breakfast with my fellow millwrights. I believe most of management is still working from home so I should get out of any exit interviews. Just say my goodbyes to the people that matter and be out the door. Have a great day!

Thank you Joe. I had a really good day on Friday but the weekend good progressively worse. I am frustrated beyond belief.
Fantastic photo and shave Jim. Enjoy your last day with your fellow employees. You've worked very hard for this day and you have earned every minute of it.
So sorry to hear, Clint. Hopefully you start feeling better soon. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
March 8, 2021 Feather AS-D2 Feather Alpha 400 with SHD 2 Band La Toja Shave Cream & Aftershave Happy Monday if there is such a thing. I am sticking with my AS-D2 mini focus. Another wonderful drama free three passes shave. I will call it a near BBS. A splash of La Toja aftershave and I am off to a client site for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
