Straight Razor of the day

Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77
Another wonderful shave with this excellent razor with a diamond balsa edge refreshed previously. After stroping on the Kanayama, the edge is soft, keen, and very comfortable in 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish and 1 red spot on the neck...

Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
A much better performance from this razor after putting it through the full diamond pasted balsa progression from a LaLune edge. After stroping on the Kanayama, buttery smoothness is felt for the 3 passes resulting in a bbs-dfs finish without any issues...superb!!

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
This razor's edge has not been as satisfying even after going through the LaLune twice. So, I decided to put this wedge through the full diamond pasted balsa progression...without the tape (the razor was honed with tape). The TTT was not bad but HHT was not so good, however, the shave was surprisingly better. 3 smooth and comfortable passes for a bbs-ccs finish...
