  • Brush: Wald Stratos Haunter 29mm A1
  • Razor: Puma 89 11/16 Full Hollow - Pale Scales
  • Razor: Puma 89 11/16 Full Hollow - Medium Scales
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Valedictorian - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Summer Break Soaps - Valedictorian - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Wonderful comparsion between two straight razor edges that were created on slate finishing stones. The stones used were a Welsh Glanrafon and a New York Red. Both stones were fun to hone on and created edges that shaved identically. The honing experience on the Glanrafon stone, though, caused me to go out and buy one.
