Razor Joseph Elliott 13/16 Fine India Steel
This beautiful antique razor returns from a re-honed & finished on a Nakayama. The edge...amazing buttery smoothness, very comfortable and efficient. Managed a workday rush 2.5passes for an enjoyable dfs+/ccs result.

The shave with this excellent travel Kamisori paired with the blade was fantastic...so easy so smooth so comfortable (aided by the lather) and very efficient! 3passes for a mostly bbs finish...wow!

Razor J.R. Torrey 5/8
Today's workday shaves with this razor after putting it through the 3 re-lapped & refreshed pasted balsa strops was just ok. Although the edge was keen, smooth & comfortable enough, managed 2.5passes for a mostly ccs result with some red spots.

Razor ZY430
Decided to put this razor through the Naniwa 12k because some part of the edge seems to be 'damaged' after hitting my glasses during the last use. Overall was not satisfactory. 2.5passes for a ccs result.

Razor Clone Feather AC Razor
Blade Feather Professional 3rd Use
Using this razor paired with the blade was just so easy, ultra-smooth, effortless, and more efficient than any true straights I owned, sigh...how to get an edge like this...3passes for a dfs+ result without any issues... it's just awesome!

Pretty tired again but up early enough for some straight shaving so I took advantage. 3 passes, DFS, no irritation or cuts, can't complain. Enjoying these scents.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to set up a similar shave, I can't quite compete with the Rawson but I do have a tub of GR and it is a favourite.
