Prep: |Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak /Shave Gel left on during shower / Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rub
Razor: |5/8 Boker 'King Cutter', the first real straight razor I ever bought, ruined learning how to strop
Hones: |Full re-hone from bevel to finished edge, 1k,4/8k, 12k, Diamond, CrOx, Clean felt, leather
Brush: |24mm Silvertip in American Ash
Uber: |Tabac
AS: |Alum Block + Gillette Sensitive Skin
Edc: |English Leather
Result: |I haven't used this razor in almost a year. I had pretty much ruined the edge learning to strop properly. The last time I used it prior to this, it was absolutely horrible. I decided last night to learn to do a rolling X, as this razor has a slight bow to it which had always kept me from attempting to rescue it myself. I bought it from SRD and had a cert. for a free re-hone if I wanted it, but I always had it in the back of my mind to learn to hone it properly. Today was the best shave I have had off it since I got it fresh from Lynn's hones. DFS in 2 passes
