Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac D01 30 mm
Razor: H. Diamond, TOWA
Soap: MWF
AS: Stratos
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
I'm very happy to have obtained this razor (been wanting a H. Diamond for a long time) and it didn't disappoint. I think it was the fastest bevel setting I've ever done (and it took an excellent bevel too). Cheers Seth! Now it would be nice if I could be well too, this cold of mine seems to be determent to take the best of me (day 5 with high fever ;)).

Good score Mikael those Japanese Towa razors are fantastic shavers, and I would have mine as one of my best shavers.

absolutely rubbish shave, rough as bulls lugs and plenty of blood. i think been full of codeine and ibuprofen on an empty stomach for a cracked rib made for a sketchy shave. the caron edt was used as a comforter, makes me feel a little better.
