  • Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
  • Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap

  Brush has the crack black ring that some Omega handles get. Knot is feeling good, lather is still tricky, Weck starting to tug more. Uno mas!

  So, AA is drawing to an end and I finally did the honemeister part of HoneMeisterschaft: Refreshing the edge. It really wasn’t necessary yet, but them’s the rules.

  The new edge is sharper ATG, but I also got a weeper, so it seems like it’s a bit harsher than the old edge, too.

  This penultimate AA shave was extremely comfortable and between DFS and BBS in closeness. I wanted to see what result I could get with my ““typical”” 2-pass shave to assess wear on the edge. As I have been experiencing, it has lost keenness.

  I stropped after this shave so that on the last shave of the month I can wrap up my stropping experiment by trying a stropped, worn, edge and comparing it to an unstropped one.
