Straight Razor Shave of the Day

hotmetal · Tuesday May 9, 2023

This edge is my own, the first use of the Naniwa progression I got from @MarkP. 2nd or 3rd shave with it. It's actually pretty good for a first effort, certainly gives a respectable finish. I think I can do better though. Others more experienced certainly could but I feel reasonably happy about this and if I can improve on it I'll be stoked.
