Great shave today, but it took a lot of buffing.
Definitely time to change blades. I'll probably
load a Silver Star into a Hone Type 15 tomorrow.
(I rotate razors every time I change blades.)

Now I await my new copper bowl from the Captain.

Stay healthy, everyone!​

Those scales are neat looking but look a little fragile . They would air dry the blade a little better than some I have seen.

They look fragile, but are surprisingly solid, Ron! My only concern was that the prior owner hadn’t oiled them as they appear dried out in this photo. I have since applied tung oil.

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 2021

Woke up to 5” of snow on the ground with it still coming dow pretty heavy. After my usual two pasted strops and leather strop, the Wade & Butcher 7/8 easily swept away the mug whiskers in three slow, easy passes. I've found that my former struggles with neck whiskers go away when my razor is sharp enough! That was definitely the case today. The Barbasol Floating Head (BFH) on its part completed what turned out to be another two pass excellent noggin shave. The BFH is easily one of my top 5 dome shavers. It does sing as it cuts, but the result can never be argued with. I feel clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth!

RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), Barbasol Floating Head (Dome)
BLADEM: Sharp Star
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
CREAM: A&E Shaving Butter
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum.
