Like Taz, i caught up on a little honing. Geisen & Forsthoff #292, 9/16 Adoration AX, fairly wedgy and a Henckels Twin Works #81 also in 9/16, but a hollow.

TM #1 horsehide, 30/30 for each

Started the left side with the Henckels took two swipes and decided it was not ready.
The Ax was great, normally i like a 6/8 or bigger... it shaved like perfectly.
2 passes on two days woth of beard
witch hazel

After giving up on the henckels the shave was great.

I lucked out with this TI, it's the one and only blade that can go 3 passes and still not feel like a blade was against my face after the shave, I can't even say that for the gentlest safety razor.
