    Week 2 in the books. Up to 25 shaves on this edge today. Took me 4 passes, but I think that was due to a slacked third pass more than the edge fatiguing. Still no irritation, complaints, or concerns with the Friodur.

    Another great shave, this one was fast as fuck (boiiiii!) because I woke up late. Think it took me around 10 min to get lathered up and 2 passes done, most of the time was spent building the lather tbh. I am excited to get into the rest of my straight razor collection come September, I think I want to continue using SRs heavily for a while.

    Decent shave this morning, the razor unsurprisingly still going strong. Brush doing well, feeling soft and whipping up a grand lather. I think I can see some light at the bottom of the soap as well which is novel.

    Hope everyone has a grand day.

    Cheers

    Marc

    Brush: Zenith B36 Copper 28mmx50mm Boar
     Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 451 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Square Point
    Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap
     Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave

    Straight shave fourteen and it was the smoothest yet. Two pass WTG and ATG which is exactly what I do with a DE, and for the first time with a straight the results were comparable to a good DE shave (minus a few points for cutting myself a few times). I can definitely say it’s starting to feel more comfortable now, though that comfort is probably leading to overconfidence (see the cuts mentioned above).

    Surprisingly I’m not getting tired of the monotony of AA. Rather, I’m still enjoying this setup (both software and hardware) each day.

    First day of school for the boys here and they both seemed excited to go back and see their friends. I’m excited to have a quiet home office again…

    Well, I guess all this stropping business is highly overrated. Here is the microscope photo of the razor's edge after 14 days without stropping. You can look at the album to compare today's edge to photos of the same area in the past. My shaves have been as consistently good as this edge since day one. I did not expect this at all.

    I was busy packing for a short trip to WI tomorrow and forgot to take a picture of the brush. Not much change since yesterday. I slipped a little and got myself right on the jawline near my ear. Didn’t feel anything, but noticed the blood mixed with the shaving cream. Still ahead, but now it is 10 - 4. Lathering was about the same as yesterday. Until my little nick, I would have said it was the best shave this month. Still deciding if I will back my 8k and 12k stones and hone at my in-laws house, or wait until Tuesday when I get back. I’d try tonight, but I think there are a few more shaves left on this edge.
