Today's shave
Razor. Royal n1 japanese razor
Strop. Parker latigo
Soap. Flowers in the dark
Aftershave. Lucky tiger
Brush. Craving shaving first brush made. Padduk
The razor is another amazing japanese razor. The more I use japanese razors the more I love them. They just always give a great comfortable shave. The brush I got from craving shaving. He had it listed and said it was the first brush he ever turned. I really love that it is wood. Eventually I will get a nice badger knot installed. the handle is just a great shape. Locks into the fingers and doesn't feel like it will slip out.

Are you shaving off the original Factory edge ? Or did you have to refresh the edge . Beautiful Razor .
The factory edge was pretty good. Just did a few laps on the jnat then stropped and shaved. That's another thing I love about japanese razors. The few I have received nos the edge is always shave ready from the factory.

Did you make your own strop?
Yes sir, I did and very pleased with the results.

I'm looking into visiting some leather working classes at Tandy Leather here in St. Louis. It seems only natural that the hobby would incorporate strop making... lol nice job!
Torrey "Hollow Ground" today.
She may not be pretty (thanks to my aggressive honing), but she sure does shave.

A larger blade compared with her smaller sister. Still a very nice shaver.
