Straight Razor of the day

Razor ZY430
This shave with the razor was enjoyable. The edge was refreshed on full balsa pasted progression and stropped on buffalo leather. Smooth and comfortable enough in 3passes without any issues managing a dfs/ccs result.

The shave with this razor after a 0.1um balsa then buffalo strop was satisfactory. The edge is good but my techniques still need improvement, especially below the jawline/neck. 3 quick passes for a dfs-ccs finish.
