Yes, looking forward to it!
It will be a bit of a leap of faith on my side. I wasn’t able to hone (or try) my AA razor before we left for vacation. I shipped my AA setup and my honing equipment to where were will be tomorrow evening and I’ll have to make it work 😅

Hey, what happened to BBS August? Don’t you have a 62-step AA program?

I have a busy month coming up and was not convinced I could find the time. I think going without stropping will be an interesting enough challenge. I noticed that this year’s headless horseman allows stropping. 31 shaves on a good edge that is stropped daily doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to me.

Fair. BBS months take a lot of time.
I think that’s part of the point. 31 shaves on an edge shouldn’t be difficult, and AA leads people to this realisation. At least for me, that’s how it went😅

I suspect that we over-strop straight razors. If the edge has the right geometry off the stone, it typically is not as keen (Science of Sharp definition) as a DE blade. One can take a DE blade for 31 shaves without too much loss of closeness and comfort. I don’t see why that can’t be done with a straight.
