Honed this razor up on sunday, and what a fantastic shave it delivered, somehow I knew even though as with all my razors they all pass the HHT off the last hone and strop, something told me this would be a fine shaver, and she did not disapoint.

 
Hello Sirs,

Pre: shower
Soap-cream: Proraso (green)
Brush: Semogue 1470

I really enjoyed my shave of today, because this soap and this aftershave was my first combination when I began with traditional shaving, few months ago.

Have a nice day!
