18 November - SR shave N o. 1796
Two Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 both finished on a hard black Arkansas and dressed in African black wood timber scales. Soap for this week is Gold Label by RazoRock.
The purpose of shaving with these two identical razors was to ensure that they both performed close to the same standard. I will spend the rest of this week shaving only with the black-tail razor to determine its edge longevity. On Sunday I will again shave with both to compare.

24 November - SR shave No. 1803
Two Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 both finished on a hard black Arkansas and dressed in African black wood timber scales.
For the past five shaves, the black-tail razor has only been stropped on clean leather between each shave (no edge refresh). The clear-tail is maintained on hard black Arkansas between each shave. The purpose of this comparison shave was to determine if there has been any noticeable deterioration on the black-tail's edge. So far none is detected. I will do the same again in a week or two's time.
Starting tomorrow I will work my way through some of my odds and sods razors.
