Hat's off to both artisan's. Bootiful work gents
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Thanked: 13245Honing and test shave !!!
I first off need to point out how interested Butch is in his steel, he always asks how things go.... That is huge in my book.....
Honing was as easy as it gets, Started on a Norton 1k using 2 layers of tape (this is what Butch has recommended to me on his razors) 40 med pressure circles as per Lynn's "40 circles to sharp" technique I used a light slurry made with a Washita stone on the N1k... rinsed stone 40 more circles light pressure... 20 laps mixed heel forward / X stokes...
The edge is popping arm hair at this time, the bevel is set and perfectly even and tiny...
Switch over to the Naniwa SS system with 1k-3k-5k-8k-10k-12k using super light polishing strokes...10 Laps on a CeOx bench strop, 50 laps on linen, 75 laps on an Illinois #827, and 25 laps on an SRD Premium I, the edge looks like a mirror and shaves so freaking smooth.... Keep in mind I am no fan of heavy stiff blades but this one feels really nice...
Butch Kudo's to you on the grind too, the tiny perfectly even bevel says a lot....
Al it will be heading home in the AM....

Thanked: 3356gun and Butch,
Nice work guys. It's a handsome razor although I'm still warming up to the color of the scales.

Great scales! That is a functional piece of art!
