Razor Wade & Butcher Steamship 7/8 Wedge
Good shave today with this solid razor. The edge kinda improved from the last use after a careful & deliberate stroping on the buffalo leather. 3 soft & comfortable passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Rooney Emillion 2 Tiger Stripe Finest (24/53)
Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (tallow)
Paradigm 17-4/UFO Titan Fine
Personna 74 Tungsten (10)
Penhaligon's English Fern aftershave (vintage)
The wonderful English Fern software reminding me, on this wet morning, of camping 50 years ago in the nearby Olympic rainforest, and catching my first beautiful Steelhead trout. We didn't catch and release then; we cooked the trout in a cast-iron skillet over the campfire, along with wild mushrooms and fresh frog legs.

Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
The razor was refreshed on the Naniwa 12k then strop on the buffalo leather. The edge feels abit better...crispier but still smooth. 3 enjoyable passes without issues for a dfs-ccs finish...

Wade & Butcher Shave-Off
Razor #1 Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
Razor #2 Wade & Butcher Steamship 7/8 Wedge
Unexpected shave-off between these 2 antique wedge razors. Both were put through the LaLune with oil and initially wanted to shave with the 13/16 but during the wtg, it feels slightly tuggy while completing the right side and so decided to test the steamship for the left since it's ready anyway...including atg on both lower & upper lips. Turns out both were as smooth but the steamship edge feels softer. The steamship is heavier too. The final results after 3 passes were bbs-ccs on both sides without any issues...

Razor Red Imp 132
The razor was great! The edge was previously refreshed on the 0.1 diamond balsa and today, after the Kanayama strop it was shaving beautifully...only 2 passes & it was enough for a bbs-ccs finish (rushing to catch the waves)...
