I had already prepped my SOTD before I saw what the new week was going to bring. Yesterday I shaved with my 7/16 Robeson that would have been a better match for the week, but today I went all out with one of my favorite restorations.. Tomorrow I'll come up with one of my smallest, best shavers to post up about!

Razor	6/8 Genco Henry's XX Fresh from the hones
Prep	Hot Shower / Barbasol Lather soak with Hot Towel / Virgin Olive Oil face rub
Uber	Sir Irisch Moos
Brush	24mm Silvertip in Honey Locust Hardwood
AS	OBR Sandalwood
EdT	OBR Original Cologne
Result	I honed this razor up today, as I had rolled the edge learning to strop almost a year ago. I decided not to get it honed up again until I was able to do it myself. I've been developing my honing skills to the point I thought I might be able to pull if off, which I did. Today's shave was heaven. The razor was keen, but smooth and left me DFS in 2 passes.

This became the end of the Derby blade, after 36 shaves it couldn't really perform the task any more.
