Thanks. I'm pretty pleased with it.

No , thank you, you're the one that helped me.

I tried the half-moon stroke on a non-smiling razor yesterday, and the marker test confirmed that it works well on it too! I actually find it a little easier to keep the pressure light and even then with the conventional X-stroke. But that's probably just me.

Thanks!! This looks very helpful, especially the taping part. I didn't realize the difference with the shoulder and shoulderless blades and the problems that could happen with incorrect taping.
