Well that was not supposed to happen, although i am quite glad it did.
Spent a bit time this morning putting edges on one of the new Gold Dollar's & Goedecke thank you @Rohleder & BST, I had checked the GD with the loupe and i could see it would not shave from the off, the edge looked as though it had been put on with a sander.
Anyway all looked well once it had been taken from Bevel set to the 12k finishing stone.
The Goedecke had a few small chips in the edge and i took it through the bevel set routine 3 times and they slowly came out. Again the edge looked pretty good after the full progression.
That was supposed to be it for today as i did not want to shave so the Koraat had something to tackle tomorrow. I got to midday and these razors got the better of me, so off to the bathroom i went.
A wonderful face lather started things off and i reached for the Cheapo GD, not really expecting much, well, well, well RH side of face and neck done and as smooth as silk even over the chin, I completed the LH side of the face with the Goedecke and was also happy with this edge.
I lathered up again to complete my second pass and i was very happy with both razors, although i think the GD is a little smoother ATG?
Nothing from the Alum block and a nice post shave routine.
I am left with a DFS result feeling pretty pleased with myself.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

A very pleasant two pass shave this morning. The MÜHLE, if loaded sufficiently, produces a mountain of rich lather, admittedly it does have a tendency to hang on to some of it. A good squeeze of the brush for the second pass brings out the best of the lather for a fantastic second pass. The Feather blade has now done five shaves in this razor, and that is enough. Change tomorrow.
