It's just the thrill of having one, much less such a nice one. It's been a nice change up from my Black Latigo. There will always be room for my Tony Miller!

First time with this W&B (thank you again u/VisceralWatch). I refreshed the edge earlier with this afternoon. Taking it my Shobudani Suita then to my Nakayama Kiita, and of course had to strop on the Kanayama. My lather must've been dialed in pretty well, as it did indeed shave well.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.
This specific Kanayama plays a huge part. An absolute Grail find.
Yeah, they're out of production. Mr. Naomi Kanoyama retired in 2022. I stumbled on this NOS #80000 on ebay for a crazy good price, less than hour after being listed.
That is correct

Nice shave today. I usually go through a routine with Mrs. Pudding and have her sniff different soaps to decide which she likes that day. There's only a handful in my den that she likes every day. She liked Cool off the tub but wasn't big on it post shave. Always subject to change, day to day. I, however, really enjoy it.
