Setting the Lines Shave
This is my day to re-set the lines in my beard so I haven't shaved since Sat morning!!!
I usually use my Dovo for this chore because it is actually my sharpest razor (although it is not my best shaver) But I just finished the restore on this Crown & Sword 1820 ERN, and I was very impressed on how well this one sharpened up so I decided to try it.......
Started with some steaming towels from the microwave (I am so going to add this to my shave den)
Hot wet towel prep
Uberlather:
Salter Rose Creme
Classic Shave Rose Soap
Pure Gylcerin
No pre-shave strop today the razor was pre-setup last night
Lather up
1 WTG pass
Hot water rinse
Still no stropping (Testing the blade)
Re-lather
1 XTG pass on the cheeks
1 ATG pass on the neck
This sets up my beard lines for the next two weeks
Wipe away excess lather with hot towel leaving a very light film behind
VERY carfully finish getting the beard lines straight with the edge of the blade
This is why I use a straight!!!!!
Very impressed with this razor I knew it was a good restore but this is great
Follow up with a coolwater rinse
Thayers Rose WH
Watch the news have my coffee
Then a nice hot shower
Followed by Clos d' Inde Bay rum AS
And off to work!!!!!

stropped 50x with 3 micron Ryobi white rouge
Williams shave soap, WBUR mug and a neon cat throwup boar bristle shave brush
1x WTG
1x ATG (except XTG above moustache and below lip - sporting the goatee)
1x XTG (except for above and below lips... 2 passes was all I need there)
1 spot needed styptic stick
homemade lime AS (alcohol, witch hazel, water, glycerin, juice of plastic lime)

Giggidy, giggidy, giggidy! After just a few tries, I am rapidly approaching a bloodless, ubersmooth straight shave! I can smell it!
