Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wow! What a great shave this morning. Today was one of those days where the stars aligned and everything went right with the shave. Lather was great, no nicks, cuts or irritation. In fact there was literally no feedback from the alum block. Just a perfect shaving experience!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Fri 22 SR-Kamisori SOTD
Soap Wholly Kaw Pomplemo
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor NOS Henkotsu Kamisori 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Aqua Velva Musk
A good quality soap. The scent is light but the lather is thick, creamy, and very slick...
Received my 1st Kamisori yesterday and today was the inaugural shave. Prior to the shave was worried about the handle...may drop it because of inexperience in both hands. Also worried about shaving with the Ura side...
Hah...the shave itself turns out to be great...the handle was easy for both hands...in fact better for the neck atg pass. The Ura side turns out to be very nice...in fact, I preferred...
All in, it was an absolutely enjoyable shave session with the Kamisori in 3passes without any issues for a mixed dfs/ccs/sas result which is not too bad for 1st time.

When I read you were getting something new yesterday, I was wondering what it was. Congratulations on your new razor.
