This beast was a real nightmare to hone, but the results were worth it.
The steel was so smooth, almost as smooth as my face is right now...
Have a wicked week, gentlemen

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme
Razors: 6/8" C'Mon HF, Hollow, Spike point
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Überlather: Al Raz' custom "Da Bomb" (Scent: Cloves/Orange/Cinnamon)
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Post-shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer
Cologne: Penhaligon Love Potion #9
Result: This is the first appearance of this C'Mon, which was also my first eBay purchase ($46). I was pleasantly surprised by my purchase- it is only missing the "C'Mon lettering/inlay on the blade, but "thewatermark" has kindly offered to give his extra scale that has this so I can send to Max for transfer, provided I give him the "end" inlays. Thanks Matt
). The razor was in dirty (grime, grease, etc...) condition with a little bit of light rust/pitting on the blade. MAAS to the rescue. A few laps on the stones (Naniwa 1k, Coticule and Escher) brought out a wickedly sharp and smooth edge and made it look like what you see in the picture. Al's dense formulation of the custom Bomb was fabulous and the scent out of this world. This was a great start to a brand new SOTD week. The C'Mon delivered a very satisfyingly first class shave

Razor: 11/16 Early Henckels 401, Twin Works, Solingen Germany, Full Hollow, Spike Point
Pre-Shave: Crema Pre Barba
Shaving Cream: Erasmic
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Medium Badger
ASB: Nivea replenishing
Aftershave/Cologne: No. 4711 EDC
Results: Perfection! This morning I used the Henckels that I stropped on the pasted strops (1 Micron Hematite & .5 Micron CrOx) and it was outstanding! The Henckels delivered a virtually one pass shave. If I were to get a shave as close as the first pass with the pasted Henckels with a cart or DE razor, I would have stopped and called it a DFS or near BBS. The pasted stropping has really taken the honing experience to a higher level!

I prefer soaps, but if anything should change my mind it would be the TOBS creams - they are really good.
