It still cuts pretty well! I'm waiting for the efficiency to really drop off before stropping.

A nice and relaxing shave after our flight home today. We passed right by the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta on our way to the airport, which was an awesome way to start the day.
I still haven't stropped this razor since @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social honed it. I didn't get great results around my chin and needed to do a cleanup pass, but I think it was due to technique more than anything. The edge still feels plenty sharp.

Travel shave, very good. Had a bit of trouble with my lather, but I think that's likely to do with different water.
My guess is 150+
