I honed this razor late last night after it came back from Tim yesterday morning. I decided on this razor for today as I felt it would be easier (read into this 'quicker') than rehoning the Krauss that still needs a bit of honing.

It gave me possibly my most satisfying shave with a straight razor to date. 3 passes, BBS and no irritation. It's very satisfying getting such a nice shave from a razor I honed myself.
 
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 30mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Razor: 13/16" Toyo "Special Razor" w/ Swedish Assab Steel, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Strop: 25/40/50 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)
Soap: D.R. Harris "Arlington" Shave Soap
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: D.R. Harris "Arlington" AS Milk
After Shave Splash: D.R. Harris "Arlington" AS
Results: I opted for the Toyo Special Razor today. Max: this one's coming your way to try out (with a couple of projects). The quality of the software afforded by the Arlington line was simply superb. Who could ask for anything more? The Toyo just wiped the face clean in literally 2 passes and a minor, effortless ATG pass. As our colleague "1OldGI" likes to say: I am ready to display myself in public again

Hello Gentlemen!

I have been really admiring some of your shaving routines! The combinations you employ between software and hardware is a joy to behold.

Preshave: Hot water
Uberlather: Creed Green Irish Tweed soap/kmf creme/glycerin
Brush: Spanish, do not know name
Razor: Henckels Friodur, 30 strokes on leather strop.
AfterShave: Pinaud's Clubman
Toner: Couperose Acqua Tonica by Helan
EDT: Green Irish Tweed

This is only my 6th (?) sr shave and getting better. The Vintage GIT soap kicked up to an uberlather was gloriously rich. Two passes, all WTG, stretching the skin for closeness. This is the first BBS I have achieved with a straight, but I have paid the price with more nicks than usual. The toner is helping settle things down.

Enjoy your Tuesday!
