This is my favorite razor + blade combo. I haven't used it in a while because I've been trying out lots of other combos, so it's nice to come back to what I know I like.
Lather: Murphy and McNeil - Gael Laoch Orange - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
Aftershave: Murphy and McNeil - Gael Laoch Orange - Aftershave
Fragrance: Floris of London - No. 89 - Eau de Toilette
Talc: Yardley Classic
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This setup was really a great way to start the day. This year my plan has been to focus on enjoying the collection of shaving gear that I have. I'm sure I'll buy some things, but I also want to appreciate what I already have.
I watched your last video on YouTube - very informative!
But I can only access the videos with direct links, and even though I subscribed, I don't see any videos. Is this on purpose for privacy reasons, or am I doing something wrong?
I'm unsure of whether there is any value for me to create a public YouTube channel, but Boris De Riviere (of River Razors) watched my previous video and said he got something from it, so I'm considering making the videos public. What do you think? There a a lot of people already out there who make honing videos.
I personally would like to be able to watch them without looking for the links. You have your own style, you explain things one cannot see easily (like pressure), and you clearly have a lot of experience also from knife sharpening. Time to join the stone-tubers!
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll be doing a complete Jnat honing of my Iwasaki razor in the next couple of days. I'll make the videos public when that video is ready to go.

The ring of death is growing much faster than I'd have thought. This tub might be done rather sooner than later.

These PTFE blades definitely hit their stride on shave #4 for me. Excellent shave.

A quick shave before going to bed. And I forgot to share my Zingari Zischtig yesterday.
Have a good night!
