Razor, Just arrived from Dylan (holli4pirating) Wade and Butcher Celebrated Barbers notch, freshly honed on a Coti. Stropped on linen and leather SRP P1.

Wonderful shave!!!! Just a light touch and the whiskers fell away. I love the W&B Barbers Notch Celebrated.

I then went and made Ice Cream Sandwiches from scratch. I was so distracted, I forgot the flour and had to make a second batch!!

Dylan......Bravo!!!!

There great razors. I just tried my 2 for the first time and they didnt let me down. Nice comfortable razors.

Result:Today I woke up rather early and the only thing I could think of as I made/drank my morning cup is what razor I was gonna shave with. After a few minutes of looking at my collection the 0146 Torrey started to shape up as "the one" for today. I quickly hit the hones, 40 minutes and about 300 laps later i was greeted with an amazing shave. At first the round point had me a little scared (after my experience with that rather deceiving Waker that Robert leant to me) but my initial nervousness passed as the blade scared the little stubble i had right off my face. I think i have now worked out a rather long but amazingly smooth edge building routine on my Shaptons, and todays shave was one of the best i've had in my entire straight razor shaving endeavor.
Happy shaving everyone
