SOTD June 26th


Gold Dollar 66
Shumate 3o
@Jayaruh Woody w/ Gem Stainless
Palmolive Classic shave stick
Satin Tip The Purest

Another day of edge testing. Right side with the GD66 left with the Shumate. Both were very nice, able to wipe away the lather and whiskers without hesitation. I think in a general sense that I would like my edges to be a bit crisper. I don't know if this means I should spend more time on the finishing stones or more time in the lower grits. Did my first full WTG pass with the straights and saw no blood. Then I did a clean up pass with the Woody which proved to be a very exceptional blade holder. I was surprised that the optional angle was a little bit off the "clip". Have a great day my friends!

Day #19 and what an abrupt change! Big drop off in performance and feel, still ended up with a fine shave but really had to work at it. So, I think I'm done with this set up. Sure worked well till today and I feel the Personna 74 is a superior blade that I pushed to the end. To bad they're no longer produced. Now go enjoy your day folks.
