Load it like you hate it! Full fledged 3017'er/ Unofficial 2013 Sabbatical Participant
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Semogue 750
Razor: 5/8 Puma
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle
Soap/Cream: RazoRock XXX
After shave: Str8fencer's Rhòmme
Results: Honed this this one for a newbie having some problems, it took a quite nice edge, just lacking a little bit on the comfort side to my liking so I'll give it a little more work to tune that in, but nice and sharp, gave me my first cut in monthsa nice little slice on the chin.

A bit narcissistic today....
That poor Globusmen have seen a lot of water and hones the last 10 days, it's due for a little Autosol cleanup.![]()
