The razor was great! The edge was previously refreshed on the 0.1 diamond balsa and today, after the Kanayama strop it was shaving beautifully...only 2 passes & it was enough for a bbs-ccs finish (rushing to catch the waves)...

Another wonderful shave with this excellent razor with a diamond balsa edge refreshed previously. After stroping on the Kanayama, the edge is soft, keen, and very comfortable in 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish and 1 red spot on the neck...

The razor for today's shave was put through the LaLune again, and it kinda improves. Smoother & slightly keener. Due to time constraints...only 2 passes but managed a bbs-ccs finish...not bad at all!

A very nice and enjoyable shave with this razor refreshed again on the LaLune with oil. The edge is soft and friendly yet crisply keen. 3 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

First time full shave with a cutthroat, 3 passes, two nicks, thought I did pretty well. Thought I would do as much a French shave as possible in honor of my mentor Chef Georges Martin. One of the finest Chefs I've ever known.

With this razor, I finally managed to get a buttery smooth edge with the LaLune & 0.1um diamond balsa combination. A quick refresh on the hanging 0.1um balsa produces a beautiful soft but efficient edge. 3 passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
