Saturday's shave.
First outing for the Hone
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Coal Tar Soap and The Gentleman's Groom Room Shave Prep Plus.
Razor - Hone 15a.
Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (day 1).
Soap - Executive Shaving Bay Rum Shave Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 - Best Badger.
Post shave - Baxter of California Shave Tonic, followed by Geo F Trumper Extract of Limes Skin Food.
Beautiful 2 pass shave, with some little touch ups. No problems.
I really enjoyed shaving with the Hone 15. I heardly felt the blade on my skin. I felt that the 15 gave a slightly more efficient shave compared with the 15a (I appreciate that YMMV).
On reflection, quite a yellow theme to the shave, with the Hone, the Gillette Yellow's and the Trumper's Lime skin food
I am pleased that I have purchased the 15 and the 15a. Both great razors, yet different enough to mean that both for me will be keepers.
Have a good weekend all,
Chris
