I'm pleased you like the razorFriday's shave
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Coal Tar Soap and Village Barber Shaving Oil.
Razor - Hone 15a (Black) - first use.
Blade - Astra SP (day 3).
Soap - OSP Eucalyptus Tea Tree Menthol.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger Hair Shaving Brush.
Post shave - OSP Eucalyptus Tea Tree Menthol Aftershave Tonic and organic aloe vera.
Frist use of the Hone - it did not disappoint. A totally different razor in my view to the Muhle Roca, which I have used daily since late December. I appreciate that YMMV, I found the Hone milder (close to a ATT M1), needing three passes to get a close comfortable shave, where for me the Rocca normally delivers a CCS with 2 passes. That said, I am not into DE shaving for speed. I enjoy new razors and finding ones that work for me. The Hone shaved beautifully, leaving my skin in good condition - no nicks, cuts, rash. It is a pleasure to use. I found it relatively easy to get a good shaving angle out of the box.
The Hone looks beautiful and performs just as good as it looks. The only problem, my wife will definitely notice a new razor this morning when she rises from her slumber
All the best,
Chris
I took more time on my prep this morning with a hot flannel preceding my usual Body Shop Maca root flash wash and Zirl shave oil.
My first use of the Proraso sensitive soap, hugely impressed.

The brush was an impulse purchase in TKMaxx a few months ago, a Gentleman's Hardware synthetic. It's scratchy as a scratchy thing but very effective.
I had one tiny nick on my chin but one of my closest ever shaves.
