Me too. Honed up a blade and finished it on an Arkansas Stone. The Kampfe blades are really hard steel and they seem to like an Arkansas finish.

Here is my shave tonight. I needed to give the blade more time on the strop. But all in all nice 3 pass shave.

Outstanding shave with the Star Super Six and a 4th use Gem. Short killer day yesterday and today will be the opposite, a long day but easier ! Yesterday I hit it hard like I was 20 years old, today I'm paying for it like a typical 57 year old

Wanted to revisit the Star Super Six as the last shave with it was incredible and lasted nearly 14 ours which shocked m. Another amazing shave with it and excited to have 2 more OLD razors coming from the same source this one came from. Already sold a couple more modern razors to cancel out the cost. Hope all are enjoying their weekend and have a Great Sunday !

Beautiful shave today with the 1887 Star Lather Catcher find Jeff jmudrick gave me the tip on. Was unsure how well it would work with the Modern Gem blade but got a great close shave. Should only improve when I get some wedges honed up. 3 Fluffy Industries shave gear items used today and VERY appreciative of Ken's thoughtful gifts that are revealed in the video. Have a Stupid Fun Day folks !!

Got mine from Frugal Shave on Etsy. I went with the printers choice to save the $2 and got green. I'm sure he fits it in with something else getting printed to save time that way and gives a discount.

I love all the Star razors I have but I have to say the Star Super Six and this one give the most amazing shaves. My 2 favorites for sure ! The restored brush shed 2 hairs 1st shave and a single the 2nd shave so it's a winner as well. Spicebomb scent from soap to aftershave to EDT and I'm ready for what the day brings me.........................as long as it's gentle
Have a Stupid Fun Day and Weekend Everyone !
