Razor Friedr Herder Abr Sohn 77
Today's shave with this excellent razor was just awesome! The edge was keenly crisp, smooth, and comfortable after stroping on the 0.1 balsa & Kanayama (still not confident to refresh on stones). 3passes for an improved dfs-ccs finish...

Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
I've always wanted a frameback and got this vintage via Ebay. Honed it myself using cheap stones and finished on the Naniwa 12k then the Kanayama strop. Wow...was surprised by the nice smooth & comfortable edge. Was expecting the worse. A satisfactory 3 passes for a mixed dfs-ccs-sas finish without any issues. Very happy indeed!

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
This razor was refreshed on the La Lune with water & oil and yeah, can feel some improvement...smooth & comfortable enough but need to be keener. Will try again. As it is, the shave was enjoyable in 3passes for a dfs-ccs-sas finish...

Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
The razor was put through the La Lune with oil and the result was a wow! I can feel the edge is different compared with the balsa. The smooth and keen edge is more comfortable. A very enjoyable 3-pass session for a bbs-dfs-ccs finish...

Today's shave was just fantastic! After putting it through the La Lune with oil, this razor's edge was the best I have ever felt. Very gentle and comfortable but yet crisply keen. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Razor 69 Thiers Issard Frameback
2nd shave with this razor and it was good! Tried to enhance the edge again on the Naniwa 12k but feels similar to the 1st use. This blade material or grind feels different from the rest of my razors..interesting...
