Honing Regimen: Chosera 1K - Naniwa SS 3-8-12K
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: Palmolive Stick
After shave: Mennen Skin Bracer
Results: Took David's Flaschner back to the hones last night, a few strokes on the 8K and finished on SS 12K, this edge suited the razor way better, a two pass, wonderfully close, smooth and comfortable shave. Finished with Mennen skin bracer, on ot the best aftershaves there is IMHO
My wife's cousin is visiting this weekend, he's been facinated by me shaving with a straight since we visited them last easter, and today we did a "straight shaving 101"
I lent him my Gotta, the Berkeley, La Toja stick and some Irisch Moos. First he watched me shave while I explained every single move, then I guided him through a full pass shave, he even mowed down his goatee, and just one small nick!
I must addmit I am mighty impressed, he did much better than I did the first time, and from his respones I think a new straight shaver is born

This was my first shave with my new Muhle R41. I used an Astra platinum blade that I'd previously used just once, in my Edwin Jagger DE89L. I'd heard that the Muhle was very aggressive so I was cautious, but I was pleased with the results -- just a few light nicks, and the AS/alum block took care of those. However, I can tell that this razor will take some getting used to.
