Found a local Jnat honemeister...all my inactive straights are finally given the proper massage by sexy Japanese stones...
I can't wait to feel the meaning of shave-ready and buttery smooth...honemeister even kindly loaned me his Near Wedge Dorko to see if I prefer thicker grind...very grateful.

Wed 30 SR SOTD With an on-loan Near Wedge
Soap Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Dorko 43 Solingen 7/8 Near Wedge
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Hyaluronic + Proraso Green Splash
This soap scent is truly awesome! The lather is wonderful too...thick, creamy, and slick!
This near wedge 7/8 razor is very kindly on loan to me from my locally found Jnat honemeister!
The shave was a wow...the 1st few strokes were silent! I was very tentative and kept the blade as flat as possible...
As I gain confidence...man...is it that a buttery smooth edge I always heard about...?? I felt the razor edge was not bitey sharp like the previous GD but rather soft and ooooo the smoothness...
I was very tentative with every stroke since it's my first thick heavy razor...but I know if I use it more...I can use the razor weight with better efficiency. The best test was the atg on the upper lip...wow...very very nice...so smooth and no skippy at all...
Overall...I enjoyed using this wedge for the no-blade chatter...Managed to do a 3.5pass without any irritation nor nicks and weepers...excellent! Results were just SAS though...hopefully, will get better with more practice.
The aftershaves were fantastically cold and perfect!

Thu 1st SR SOTD
Soap PAA Cavendish
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn 77 (after going thru some Japanese massage sessions)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + PAA Cavendish
Super nice aromatic scent from this soap! The lather was creamy and slick too...
Shave with this full hollow razor (used to be very skippy & tuggy)...how can I describe it...? I can feel the edge but it was not bitey, just smooth...& comfortable. Was this the buttery smoothness edge I have been wanting to experience? What an enjoyable session...best test is always the atg pass and it was really smooth even for the upper lips except under my left jawline, a bit skippy there. 3passes for between ccs & sas. Aftershaves were awesome!

Sat 3rd SR SOTD
Soap Stirling Mountain Man
Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake 2 Band Badger
Razor Henckels & Friodur 472 1st Use after Jnat honed
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Excellent qualities from Stirling as usual. Nice scent, even nicer lather...creamy and slick!
The shave with this razor which I have had since 2019 but never shave-ready and thus never used...after being honed on jnat...was friggin AWESOME!! The experience was a smooth buttery edge...at no time I felt it catching nor skip during the atg pass even on the upper lips. Felt very comfortable...Amazingly it was efficient too. 3passes for a between bbs to dfs finish without any nicks, weepers nor irritation which is my first! Woohooo!!
I always thought a hollow razor tends to chatter going atg but this razor proves me wrong! I love it! This razor edge felt so much better than the previous 2...or so it seems...looking at the picture...is it a belied hollow?
