Straight Razor of the day

Sun 15 SR SOTD
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers
2nd shave with the razor but this time put through a short run on the 0.1um pasted balsa. The result was a slightly more keener edge but yet still as smooth. Managed 3+passes for a ccs to sas finish with a micro red spot. This is a very enjoyable razor...

Mon 16 SR SOTD
Razor Dorko Solingen 7/8 Near Wedge
Another nice shave from this razor! I am appreciating it more by each use...after going through another pasted balsa progression. The edge was smooth and keen. Did not feel it being aggressive at all. Had an enjoyable 3passes without any issues for a ccs to sas results. Still unable to get my neck whiskers removed satisfactorily.

Tue 17 SR SOTD
Razor Torrey 5/8 Wedge
Finally reached my 50th straight razor shave. Really enjoying this journey! This razor's edge was after 2nd round of full-pasted balsa progression. It was keen and smooth but due to being in a hurry...managed 3passes for sas result and 1 nick on the chin. The lesson learned here is to not use an SR when in a hurry...especially with my novice skills.

Razor Dorko Solingen 43 Near Wedge
Another shave with this soon be mine and elevated to the top razor was just outstanding. While still unable to get the efficiency results of DE, this time round in 3++passes managed a dfs/ccs/sas results. This razor's edge has noticeably improved after the 4th full-pasted balsa progression. Smoother, sharper, and ohhh soooo silent. No weepers nor irritation. Very enjoyable.

This shave with the razor after a 2nd full-pasted balsa progression was better. The edge was still smooth, comfortable, and woooo, sharper! I really like this razor edge material...feels and sounds great! Managed a ccs to sas finish in 3+passes.
