Yesterday's shave was BBS & I woke up with a growth left after the 1st pass. Should I shave today? Yep, want to try the new Razorock soap. Smells nice & shaved great, worth buying.

Two detail razors don't quite add up to a wider blade, but I got a decent shave, compared a couple edges, and gave my new Tony Miller roughout horsehide strop a good workout. I 'practiced stropped' a variety of grinds yesterday as soon as I had the Tony Miller out of the shipping box, but this was my first shave. German-American...

Boker Weiner Schaber v The Hodgson Razor (both German, one labeled for a Fort Worth hardware firm)
Roughout Old #2 strop - all-American
German soap and German Reine Borste brush
Alum, Lucky Tiger, Adidas Dynamic Pulse (German brand)

The Hodgson (with a SliceOfLife finish, refreshed with my diamond pasted balsa progression) won the edge comparison.
