    Tonight's shave was with a great shaving Japanese Razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS, with no touch-ups. Zero issues. Just a fine example of a Japanese razor, thick and made of Swedish Silver Steel.

    Razor- HINODE Yasuhira. Made Humbly by Taihei.
    Brush- JR#262. Ebony/Birdseye Maple. WD Silvertip knot.
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. The Admiral Decanter.

    Cold Water Wash
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Jayaruh #292 HMW
    Weck Sextoblade Med
    CWR
    Vintage English Leather

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 HMW brush. I did two passes with the Weck Sextoblade Med Razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Vintage English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    My 8/8 Wade & Butcher is absolutely one of my favorites in the stable. Maybe THE favorite. Gravitating to larger, heavier razors as I go.

    After a week in the woods without a shave. The Wacker was definitely up to the job.
