shave 2.5 passes and a little touchup. Tried one pass on the neck wtg and .5 pass across the grain. and one pass with the grain.

May have worked slightly better than usual cheeks are close to BBS neck is close as well. I may get one yet.

This is my day to re-set the lines in my beard so I haven't shaved since Sat morning!!!
I usually use my Dovo for this chore because it is actually my sharpest razor (although it is not my best shaver) But I just finished the restore on this Crown & Sword 1820 ERN, and I was very impressed on how well this one sharpened up so I decided to try it.......


Started with some steaming towels from the microwave (I am so going to add this to my shave den)
Hot wet towel prep
Uberlather:
Salter Rose Creme
Classic Shave Rose Soap
Pure Gylcerin
No pre-shave strop today the razor was pre-setup last night
Lather up
1 WTG pass
Hot water rinse
Still no stropping (Testing the blade)
Re-lather
1 XTG pass on the cheeks
1 ATG pass on the neck
This sets up my beard lines for the next two weeks
Wipe away excess lather with hot towel leaving a very light film behind
VERY carfully finish getting the beard lines straight with the edge of the blade
This is why I use a straight!!!!!
Very impressed with this razor I knew it was a good restore but this is great
Follow up with a coolwater rinse
Thayers Rose WH
Watch the news have my coffee
Then a nice hot shower
Followed by Clos d' Inde Bay rum AS

And off to work!!!!!
