    You must be magical, cause you just trashed everyone that ever honed a razor for me. Famous names included.

    Shame you are across the lake or I’d send you a razor to let you prove it.

    Help yourself to some cheese.

    7/8 Maher & Grosh Radium Steel
    Barbershoppe Num. 3 Pure Badger Hair Brush
    Viking No Scent Shave Cream


    Had to spend time with this one. Edge was tricky. Laps on the 8K, 12K and 15 K whetstones. Then to the linen and leather for stropping. It performed better than the last shave. However, there is still work to be done for a smoother shave. She didn't pull the whiskers. But there seems to be a very small part, 1/16th", of the blade that isn't following the edge as well as the rest of the blade. Will spend some time working on it. Second pass gave me a closer shave but again, a bit more work on the stones and strop is needed.

    Over all though, still a solid B shave. Want it an A.

    As always, a good witch hazel cleanse. Shower and finish with CREED Himalaya cologne for pleasure.

    I'm on the right side of the pond. Just saying.
    Send me one of your best razor, honed by you, so I can evaluate your skills, then I will send you one of mine back with yours.

    You guys, who where skirts, are funny. Definitely funny.
    ME, I cannot wear a Kilt, because it would look like a long skirt, to cover the unmentionables. Good thing, I'm a handsome rascal, I dont Brag, and I am Humble Gentleman.

    At issue was straight vs Feather AC Professional Super, not who the best honer is.

    It was clearly stated.....
    “Feather AC..A Well Honed SR Simple Blows Em Away..Nae Bones Aboot it..”

    Guess I’ve never had a well honed SR.

    13/16 Tanifuji Favorit re-scale, cream was AoS Ocean Kelp lathered with a Simpsons 57. A splash of Myrsol Agua di Limon finished up a BBS shave.
