A testing day: 9/16 wb and a 9/16 morley both are farily stiff in their grinds (wb is on edge, morley laying down)

30/40 TM #1 horse hide for each of them
hot towel
tabac soap
forum shavemac
lather with hot towel
relather
wb with the grain on the left cheek, morley on the right
against the grain morley on the left, wb on the right
cold water rinse
dickensons witch hazel

pretty smooth shavers and a nice shave but i wish i had done an across the grain pass like i normally do

these blades were fresh off the 8k norton and are nice. I'll try them on a hunsrueck tonight and see how they shave again tomorrow... then they are off to their new homes!
