Not particularly comfortable; lots of burn from the aftershave. I'll get another shave out of the Feather - just about - but I'll try the slant with one or two more blades before I pass judgement. At the moment, I'm thinking that it shaves close, yes, but it takes its toll on my face. I likely need to adjust my usual angle of attack too. Any tips?

Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: William Rodgers "The Favorite", restored by Jamie
Brush: Neep #1059 soapstone chubby 26mm super silvertip
Soap: Trumper's West Indian Limes
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Green Ginger
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
The lather completely evanesced after the first pass, very unusually, sop the rest of the shave was with transparent near-water slip from the brush.
This is the first time I used this razor since Jamie so kindly resharpened it, and it shaved exceptionally well. It is to me an avatar of this forum's kindness and community, and I would treasure it even if not good - but so much better that it is .
Let me publicly thank Jamie again, who has now restored, sharpened, gifted, and resharpened this razor and taken nothing in return.
