Tested the Krusius Brothers edge. Good but will be better after a touch up.
Gotta 120 for the win for the rest of the shave. Excellent shave!

Due to the enjoyment of shaving with it, I was sorely tempted to go for a fourth pass and BBS result with this "Bengall" this morning. I surprised myself with my willpower and resisted. I wanted some whiskers for tomorrow's shave.

Ask me about shaving naked!
I have a lot of those old French razors. I agree, the steel is incredibly good.
Bonjour @Mic - and Aggelos! Invite Aggelos Mic.
I’ve wondered about having custom razor made, and the first question is what steel?
I’d gather up all those 1800s French razors known to be good, and have Tim Zowada or another artisan that can work raw steel make me a razor out of them.
Hmmmm…I am sure that it could be done, but if you combined the different steels it might affect the purity and the heat treat could affect the MOJO. Damned if I know…I am a chicken nugget!
I would never part with DOURIS…would never mess with it…never sell it! It’s that good!

The guy that sold this to me didn't know what it was finished on, but it's as good an edge as I've experienced. I may be forced to admit that some of you all were right about these razors.

Great and fine scented Lather from the Axolute Shaving Cream. Tried to achieve utmost closeness until the Lather bowl was empty.
Extremely pleasant and close shave; 10,0/10.

Fresh edge. I've cut back on honing quite a bit so this was a wonderful reminder on why I like fresh edges so much. Good lord what a monster!!

Hi gents,
My technique is lagging when it comes to the smaller, lighter 5/8. The blade "skips" a little in the tough parts of my beard, and this makes me a little more hesitant. I'll park this up for a while and come back to it once I have confident one pass shave working reliably, and see how I go then.
