I do like that razor my friend Great setup!
I'm loving that Koraat. I see a day in my future that i will commission another custom Koraat. I'm torn however as to whether i should get a stark or brian brown first.
I agree, CC soaps are really nice. I don't knock them for residual slickness because so few soaps have exceptional residual slickness.

Thanks Chris, I understand why
Thanks Chris Get them all, LOL. Actually I find quite a few that do have tons of residual slickness, but as I stated I still really like CCCBLindsay said:

Thanks much
Just got caught up on about a week and a half of your shaves, and the honing on the Ark. Didn't understand much of that, but it sounds like it ended well.
Beautiful razors throughout. Still partial to the Brian Brown with the jade G10 scales, though. Gorgeous.

Pre-Shave Lather / Hot Towel & Rince / 15 Laps TM linen / 50 laps TM Strop
Post-Shave: Lucky Tiger Aftershave Salve / Cold Towel & Rinse
30-laps Trans-Ark Hone / 25 Higgins English Linen / 50 Westholme Fast Draw
Thiers-Issard la Legende 6/8
Shavemac Colonia No. 1 / Two band Silvertip
L'Occitane Cade Shave Soap
L'Occitane Cedrat Aftershave Balm
L'Occitane Cedarat EdT.
Nice shave today after a no-shave day due to a migraine and a whole day in bed. I don't get them very often but when I do. Never quite know when they will show up. The beauty of being diagnosed with Cluster Migraines about 20 yrs ago. This is the 1st really bad one since then. Hope it is not a trend as the last cluster lasted for over a year.
Anyway, still on shelf #2 and Cade got the call up. This is a T2 soap for me, a bit more of a challenge to lather and remain stable and the residual is not the greatest. On the positive side this soap will literally last forever, has a very nice fragrance, and provides a pretty good medium to shave off of.
the TI was happy to be on French Slopes today and as always is a joy to use, even though the bevel and edge look like a drunk mad man honed it. Oh the joys of mass manufacturing and geometry problems, LOL
A 3-pass shave with cleanup on a two-day beard resulted in a very nice DSBBS. Followed with the Cedrat balm and EdT made for a nice light fragrance of lemon/lime goodness and not to temp another migraine with to heavy of a fragrance.
Set-up
Have a Good day folks
