Hones	King 1k, Norton 4/8k, Naniwa 12k, 100 Hard Felt, 100 cowhide, 100 horsehide + 100 horsehide before shaving
Pre:	Hot shower, pre-shave lather rub, super hot water soak, pre-shave oil rub
AS:	Pinaud Clubman
EdT:	Stetson
Results	I think this might qualify as my first ever BBS shave after a full year of straight razor shaving. Having honed these 2 razors to my liking and using the half hollow on one side and the wedge on the other it was truly an amazingly good shave. So good I didn't use any alum or post shave treatment other than a pure splash of Pinaud. It gave me great feedback and I loved it! This Spike was my first ever wedge I over bought and restored to original condition. It shaves like a beast. The Cosmo is a fresh acquisition and has just gotten its first honing. It did not disappoint at all. Great shave!

Have a great weekend brothers in blades!!
