Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
Satisfactory 2-pass shave with this razor. The edge feels good enough for a dfs-ccs finish...

Razor Red Imp 132
What a lovely shave with this razor! Despite the time crunch...went for 3 passes because this edge is so buttery smooth...and crisply sharp. Good bbs-ccs finish...

Razor Wade & Butcher Steamship 7/8 Wedge
I understand the meaning of the final shave test... rather than TTT & HHT. This razor failed both but decided to proceed anyway. It shaved beautifully for 3 passes...smooth, comfortable, and efficient. The final results were between bbs-ccs. Nice!!

Edward Brice 7/8" 1/2 -- Razor #38 with embedded sapphires in the spine. Love the handling, the smile, everything. New soap from the xmas stash, Havana. Subtle aroma, nice lather, enjoyed that!

Myers & Sons (who also made Bengalls at the time). First razor I restored, still very happy with it.
Another new cream from the Chrismas Sales Stash. This one lathered really really well, very creamy, very satisfying to slap around

Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
A wonderfully relaxing Sun shave with this excellent razor. Refreshed & strop on the hanging 0.1um balsa and kanayama...the edge was buttery smooth soft. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Riviere Razor 8/8" 1/3 for me today. Seems he's becoming quite successful with his new '14' model, so I'm glad I commissioned this one before he became too busy!

Razor Henkotsu Kamisori
Enjoyable enough shave with this razor refreshed on the LaLune. Comfortable edge but still missing the keeness I preferred. 2passes for a dfs-sas finish...

Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
This razor is definitely keener after being refreshed on the 0.1um balsa and smoother after stropping on the Kanayama. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish. The balsa sharpness...in combination with the comfort of natural edge is just what I need...
