I'll watch the barber hone section of the world of straight razor dvd and give the pike swaty a shot....I just wish I knew what I'm doing wrong with the crox. Also I just noticed that the swaty I have, while smooth and flat fo the most part, has a couple of chips along the edges....that might be a problem
