Sharpness is addictive!

[Kees]

When I started str8 razor shaving no one could/would help me, I did not know where to turn in the 80's, my hairdresser who used to be a barber before WW 2 told me I was nuts wanting to take up str8 shaving.

My first hone was a surgical black, due to its slowness and my poor technique I had bad shaves and I had given up till I read an article about SRP in a Dutch magazine. After absorbing all the information from many helpful members, many of them no more active here, I bought a Thuringen NOS and a kosher coticule. Both of them gave me a WOWZA experience. Then I was lucky and got my Escher which again improved my edges.

Last but not least in the queue is my Nakayama which, again, gives me better edges than ever before.

And now I find myself thinking of buying an even finer hone to see whether that will further improve my edges.

Am I the only one searching for the holy grail of honing? Am I becoming a sharpness addict? Do I need help?
