    Actually I am more impressed now, a restore where everything goes right, is an accomplishment, but to pull it out and make it look good when things start to go wrong, now that too me, has some bragging rights

    Default The Shave & blade

    Shaved with it this afternoon. It was close however a little harsh. May have to step back to the .05 diamond or crox pasted strop.
    Here are some pics of the honing process.

    gssixgun said it right:
    +1 on the "some bragging rights"
