Excellent 3 pass shave tonight. The 400 is an amazing brush and along with The Perfect Gent soap and aftershave balm it was a near BBS.

Thank you very much, Freddy!!

I can't believe I'm still at it after all these years, my friend!

BTW, did you notice my EdT to finish the shave??  I owe it all to you!

I certainly did.  It's still one of my favorites.

I got a few old razors in the mail today, and this was the first one I chose to shave with. It took a really nice edge after a little work getting the bevel set. It isn't perfectly even, but it is sharp along the whole length, so I will let it even out over time and subsequent honings. It's shaving well along the whole edge, so a little uneven thickness is better than creating a frown trying to even it out...

I was going to polish this one up, but the etching is in really good shape, and the patina on both the scales and the blade cleaned up beautifully with just some steel wool and light elbow grease. I think I'm going to keep the patina in tact...

Anyhow...an excellent shave!
