Thread: Finally a good shave..... and an idea for Zeepk

I had purchased some razors on ebay some time ago and finally got my norton after trying to hone them up on a 12000 grit chinese stone.

I was only able to get three of the 6 anywhere near sharp. today I did the first shave with a double duck goldedge. No nicks, decent shave on the cheeks and part of the neck. Still need some hone or strop work to get it perfect.


I found neck shaving difficult. My beard grows from left to rignt. The center and areas around the center of the neck are pretty rough still. I know my technique is needing some serious help.

That's when I though of the Zeepks (I got two with some other razors in an auction). I'm going to take one and use the edge of the 12000 grit stone and dull that guppy to the point where you have to bear down to cut butter. I can then use it to hone technique without looking like I got in a fight with Freddy Kreuger.

The Zeepk will help me with hand and razor manipulation which is still pretty new and awkward to me. Hopefully I don't create any bad habits.
