The Process-
Late morning shave today ... oh yeah! So, today is just another day in my really long weekend and I am keeping it random. Grabbed the Glastonbury to keep the Patch going just a bit longer too. It was pretty much all Stirling today and it worked well. The boar whipped up a really nice wet lather with my standard 30 second load time. It was go time.
No leather today, per Alfredo’s instructions. I have been really stoked to try this JNat edge, because several people have really hyped it up for me. So let’s go. I went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Ok ... it was a nice shave. Let me squash all the hype and sum this edge up in one word ... amazing! This razor has always had a bit of harshness for me. Not bad, but there and I thought that was just a German steel thing. Not so ... this edge is now smooth. This JNat edge is very smooth and sharp. My J Allen is about this smooth, but lacks the sharpness of the JNat. You know the JNat is sharper by the way it glides across your face, without a hint of trying to bite. The audio feedback sounds a bit muted on the JNat as it lays waste to any hair growth.This is what I aspire to achieve on all my razors. Damn that’s an awesome edge! Oh, almost forgot to mention that I am BBS for the win! Oh yeah!
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a pat dry. A glug of the AS and everything was right as rain! Man, I still can’t get over that edge. It’s going to be a great day! Life is good.
