Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
Another superb shave with this frameback. Smooth and crisp diamond balsa edge after stroping on the roo leather, not as buttery-smooth after the Kanayama.... 3 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
I missed using a straight razor very much. I'm glad I brought this razor on my work travel as a standby. Today, have more time, so able to enjoy the SR. This razor went through the full diamond pasted balsa progression and is definitely crispier...while remaining smooth & comfortable. 3 enjoyable passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Razor Titan ACRM-2 Madagascan Mahogany Timber Scales
This is a razor exchange with kind generosity all the way from Australia. Fortunately, my relatives from Sydney came for a visit so shipping was easy. This razor has a coticule's edge. Although it was comfortable it was not sharp enough for my tough whiskers...Managed a sas result in 3 passes...

Razor Titan ACRM-2 with African Timber Scale
This is the 2nd razor exchange all the way from Australia. This razor has an Adaee's edge which is smoother, more comfortable, and a crispier sharpness compared to yesterday's coticule edge. Managed a ccs-sas finish in 3 passes...

SR Comparison Shave
Razor 1 Dorko 43 Near Wedge
Razor 2 Titan ACRM-2 African Timber Scale
Today's shave was to compare one of my top SRs with a buttery smooth edge with this Titan after putting it through the LaLune & the full diamond balsa progression. Both were strop on the Kanayama. Dorko (easily passes the HHT) was on the left & Titan (absolutely failed TTT/HHT) was on the right. 3passes and Dorko did not fail...super nice and efficient but the surprise was the Titan...it did very well, and the edge was very comfortable and more efficient than the initial use. Overall, Dorko's result was bbs-ccs while Titan's was dfs-sas. Some red creeper and minor irritation on the left...hahaha. Delightful comparison...

Today's shave with this excellent razor was very enjoyable. Buttery smooth and crisp edge after stroping on the 0.1um balsa and Kanayama leather. 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
