Sun 18 SR Shave-Off SOTD
Soap B&M Cheshire
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor 1 ZY430 Left Side
Razor 2 GD 208 Right Side
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + B&M Cheshire AS Balm
This is one of my favorite soaps and scent! The performance is outstanding. Nice aromatic scent with a creamy and slick lather...
Today's shave-off was after assembling my 3 diamond pasted balsa strop accordingly to this forum method. The ZY430 was after the 3rd shave on a jnat edge while the GD 208 was supposed to be shave-ready from a vendor in Canada.
Both SRs was given the same laps on the 3 balsa strop then leather and wow...I finally know what's TTT...and it was between TTT-3 to TTT-4 (all according to Slash's site where I found better with pictorials guidance)
After 3passes, my initial (inexperience) feel was the edge on both SRs is noticeably sharper & crispier but still as smooth but...more bite to it. The GD felt better...and the ZY is just a tad behind...not sure if my hand skills play a part. For sure both are sharper...2 weepers on ZY and 1 on GD but a better result...between ccs to as. Great stuff...!!

BRUSH: Semogue Torga C5 boar (24 / 50 mm)
SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat
RAZOR: Dovo 6/8 Best Quality
A/S: Alun / Floïd The Genuine
COMMENT: Returning to straight razor shaving after a longer stint with just DEs because I have had a steep learning curve with honing. I now managed to put a decent edge on a Dovo 6/8 "Best Quality" with a set of Naniwa Professionals, had a pleasant 3 pass shave. So happy I learnt of the Semogue Torga C5 boar here on B&B, it's a superb brush, after I acquired one it has quickly become one of my favourite boars.
