Just had another shave with the LeCoultre, after a few trips to the carborundum strop, horsehide strop, linen and latigo strop and some more on the short paddle plain leather, it did a very good job on half the face WTG and ATG. Had just finished a Genco about 4/8 for my grandson. I had given him a 6/8 M. Jung for his Bar Mitzvah, but it is too large for him now. It still needs more time on the strops, but it gave an unbloody shave WTG and ATG. Not as close as the LeCoultre but not rough on the face.

The round toothpick sounds good, but right now I have only flats and a 750 count box.
