3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I decided I needed to use Bleu Man today and had time to throw in a third pass which added my enjoyment of this Bleu Teusday.
This Red Imp is very sharp but has one of my pre-September edges. In September I started to play with controlling edge micro-convexing while honing. I'm happy to say that I can feel the difference. I quite like the sharp feel of the Red Imp's edge, but I'm now more accustomed to the much softer sensation that comes from my current honing process. Fun stuff for me.
Happy Boxing Day! I like the theme of generosity behind this day.
Honing your honing process ++;
The red imp has such a fun branding, I'm going to end up buying one just for that 😅
Your bleu teusday reminded me that I forgot about Tabac Tuesday 🤦♂️ I guess that's a sign of a good vacation😄
I admit that's why I bought mine. Glad you're enjoying your vacation!
