Little razor burn today . I think the last time I used HB it was the same I am not sure my Face is liking it. Give it one more try, Third times the Charm

Haven't done proper prep for at least the last 5 or so shaves. Honestly, results aren't bad. Sure, could be better but I find I am impatient to use the razor and for that nice feeling when you finish with the ASB and you're done. You know what I'm tlaking about

H&J Special 5/8 hollow rp
Plisson HMW 12
Lucky Tiger Shave lotion
Vintage Clydesdale strop
Trumper's alum
CADE ASB (it's colder now, some change from CSF for variety)

good shave. LT SL lets me do multiple passes without irritation (unlike many soaps and creams), which is really nice. Now, if I liked the scent it would have been even better

Cheers

Since Saturday's test-shave was after a shower, I did one before showering yesterday, with about 36 hours of growth on my face. The Workman performed admirably and left me with another clean, irritation-free shave, thus proving that it can take and hold a good shaving edge.

morning shave:
10/20 tm honey strop
hot shower
Colleen's highlander soap
6/8 extra hollow ground boker
3 passes nice and clean but starting to pull on the last pass... no nicks or burn though
unscented thayers witch hazel


pm shave:
hot towel 4 minutes worth (for me that means hitting the towel with fresh hot water 3 times)
trumpers almond shave cream
6/8 extra hollow ground boker, freshened up on my new TM bench hone 5 passes on boththe 1 and .5 side then 10/20 on a new TM red latigo
3 full passes, no nicks or burn and no pulling
unscented thayers witch hazel

both shaves were good but the second one bordered on great

Last night I gave the other Workman blade a shave test, together with the horn-scaled Eskilstuna frameback (thanks Ivo ) that gave me a bit of trouble when I took it on vacation, while it wasn't quite shave-ready. It was good enough to shave, but the shaves werent' comfortable and were lacking in the closeness department.
The Workman performed as well as the other one I tested, so I'm very pleased with those blades.
After the final honing session, I am finally seeing why Ivo likes this particular model so much. The shave was on the par with any of the steady performers in my rotation.

Test shave before sending off the WE. Razor performance was maybe 9+ / 10 BUT:

water in scuttle was too hot and this ruined the lather I usually go for a bit colder water. This time decided to experiment... Bottom line: I shouldn't have. Overall shave was sub-par as I had no patience for good new lather so just dabbed soap / water with the tips of the brush... which was not that great.

Cheers

Dang, Rich - I was hoping for 3 Ducks in a row...

But I guess it's better this way - the name is Double Duck, after all - not Tripple, and Taz and I did a nice little number with the Wonderedges
