    Thanks again alan. Just for reference, I think you used the nakayama nashiji stone. I don't recall even really playing withe coticule...

    A lot of what you said is food for thought on my personal honing application. Especially the ridiculous hair popping differences between the three of us. It certainly was an eye opener.

    I justed tried to shave with that thin spined yellow scaled razor and put it away after just my cheeks and picked up the concave grind to finish. A world of difference even though they both were performing similarly on the sharpness tests.

    I'll have to decide whether to put some more thought into why I don't find the edge satisfactory or just forget about it and state it a waste of time and not an interesting challenge and sell it and let someone else deal with it.

    Glad you are enjoying the brew.

    As well you should be. My honing, shaving, and my poor face all have a lot to thank Alan for.
