I'm pleased you like the razorFriday's shave
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Coal Tar Soap and Village Barber Shaving Oil.
Razor - Hone 15a (Black) - first use.
Blade - Astra SP (day 3).
Soap - OSP Eucalyptus Tea Tree Menthol.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger Hair Shaving Brush.
Post shave - OSP Eucalyptus Tea Tree Menthol Aftershave Tonic and organic aloe vera.
Frist use of the Hone - it did not disappoint. A totally different razor in my view to the Muhle Roca, which I have used daily since late December. I appreciate that YMMV, I found the Hone milder (close to a ATT M1), needing three passes to get a close comfortable shave, where for me the Rocca normally delivers a CCS with 2 passes. That said, I am not into DE shaving for speed. I enjoy new razors and finding ones that work for me. The Hone shaved beautifully, leaving my skin in good condition - no nicks, cuts, rash. It is a pleasure to use. I found it relatively easy to get a good shaving angle out of the box.
The Hone looks beautiful and performs just as good as it looks. The only problem, my wife will definitely notice a new razor this morning when she rises from her slumber
All the best,
Chris

I took more time on my prep this morning with a hot flannel preceding my usual Body Shop Maca root flash wash and Zirl shave oil.
My first use of the Proraso sensitive soap, hugely impressed.
Gillette slim adjustable on 6 with a new Polsilver SI
The brush was an impulse purchase in TKMaxx a few months ago, a Gentleman's Hardware synthetic. It's scratchy as a scratchy thing but very effective.
I had one tiny nick on my chin but one of my closest ever shaves.
