Straight Razor of the day

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
Interesting shave with this excellent razor. Initially stropped on the Kanayama, the 1st pass didn't feel as crisp, so strop on the Kangaroo instead, and wow...there's a difference! The edge is crispier and the rest of the passes are more enjoyable resulting in a nice bbs-ccs finish!

Razor Henkotsu Kamisori
Today's shave with this razor freshly finished on the new hard black Arkansas with just water (dressed on 800 grit SiC). The edge was very comfortable and keener compared to the last use. It's been a while since this razor felt so good. I guess what's been said about the ark is true but I need to try it out more. 3 passes for a dfs-sas result...

Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
This razor potential is further realized in today's shave. Previous use was not keen enough. After putting it slowly through the 0.1um balsa followed by the Kanayama... the razor's edge is now silky soft smoothness and very keen. Almost did not feel the edge. 3passes for a good bbs-dfs finish...
