I still have the "factory" edge on mine. I don't think I can improve on it. I will leave it be for as long as I can.Now I’m wondering if you can make a hone out of that stone @Edmund A ?
Iwasaki Swedish steel kamisori with a kiita edge, software was AdP wannabees, SV Asylum Colonia beta 4.3 and Fine Italian Citrus AS. The SV Colonia is great soap, and the scent is good but lacks some of the more delicate or nuanced notes that AdP cream scent has, but still an excellent scent. The Fine IC surprised me, it’s quite close to AdP. A Semogue Galahad did the lathering.
AdP Colonia type scents are great any time of the year, but it’s particularly nice in summer I think.

Try using it like a slant razor. At a slight angle to the direction of travel. I find this makes a world of difference.230622

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.
Respect for finishing the shave. You’ve got to look good when you go in for stitches.This morning I shaved with another of my ⅝ Cadman Bengall SRs. It taught me a lesson in concentration. Must have been a faulty blade.
The first time in SR shaving that I have ever felt the need for a band-aid.

Where is there stubble ? Did you really shave ?
This is the third round. I can't see the beard anymore. Can you see it? Post it to me.Where is there stubble ? Did you really shave ?
