2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
PasteurVision is another soap that I purchased at the Maggard Meetup. Another winner for me. I think if you like Amber Bomba (I'm lookin' at you @whosgotthepudding ), you'll love this one. I don't have the splash. El Dorado complements it nicely, though.
This shave was a test shave and the results were just great. The razor belongs to u/VisceralWatch and it came back for honing because the edge has never been quite right. We thought that maybe, during restoration, someone overheated the edge and changed the temper there. I think this might have happened. Sometimes these problems will only reside at the very edge of a blade. With this sharpening, I think we have honed through the bad metal and are now into the good stuff. I made a video of the sharpening. Naturally, the final verdict remains with Mr. Watch.
You're on fire with the videos these days! I only just caught up with the Ern razor video 😅
Thanks for the great content!
Thank you! VisceralWatch tells me that he uses them to go to sleep :) Perhaps I should skip the voice-over audio and just do ASMR.
One day mister watch will also start honing razors, and then he'll go back watching all the ends he slept through😄
Oh! I think the Ern video is the one where I fumble through the importance of minimizing impact between abrasive particles and the razor’s edge without actually getting into any classical mechanics. In real time, I remember thinking you would be chuckling over this.
