S.O.T.D. Saturday 7th - Friday 13th March 2015, incl.



Prep: Hot wash with dove soap.
Soap: Sterling Naked and Smooth.
Brush: LEA special edition Vie-Long horse.
Razor: KYOEI 5/8 Square point.
Post: Nivea Sensitive Balm.

Nice 2 pass shave plus touch ups, not as smooth as I would like but with this being a never used before and newly honed razor I took extra care. Very good socially acceptable shave no nicks of weepers of any kind, the razor is wonderfully smooth those scales just look awesome, the picture doesn't do it justice. Now to get the hang of ATG.

Jim
Thanks Rob for a brilliant Job of honing the razor.
