Razor Gold Dollar 208
This razor has a LaLune edge but was not satisfied with the sharpness, so put it through the full diamond pasted balsa progression followed by stroping on the Kangaroo leather....and wow! Not only was it soft and smooth but definitely had a crispier keen edge. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...nice!!

Razor Red Imp 132
A relaxed and enjoyable shave with this razor strop on the roo leather in 3 passes for a dfs-sas finish. The edge needs to be refreshed...

Reminder of how amazing level of perfection they had reached for both blade etching, and the scales. Just absolutely micron-perfect. The grind is "too hollow" as far as my hard beard is concerned, but with a brand new 1um film edge, chrome oxide polish, and my super strop this thing is insane, feels like shaving with sharp paper.

Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
Another superb shave with this frameback. Smooth and crisp diamond balsa edge after stroping on the roo leather, not as buttery-smooth after the Kanayama.... 3 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Three passes with the French-made Thiers Issard, freshly run across a 12,000 grit stone along with a .5 micron strop and a 25 strop on the leather.

Absolutely a wonderful shave! Although I didn't have Moneypenny to assist me, a shave that was as good as it gets! Hot towel and OSC #2 Floral pre-shave oil, nice lather with The #48 Omega boars hair. Three passes with a freshly honed Dovo straight edge and suddenly the BBS has arrived!
Forgive me for cutting this short, I am late for a card game at Casino Royale.
