Straight Razor Shave of the Day


I gave that exact same Bismark as a first razor to a friend -- missing it a bit, but I wanted him to have the best possible experience to start with -- most excellent razors!
 
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.
