It is nice to be back on track again.

I tried the spray/paste strops today on 2 of my vintage razors. 1 of them (it has no makers marks) was already shaving well, but 15 laps on the dia and another 15 on the chromium really made it silky smooth.

My Henckels passed the HHT but was really rough on my face (to the point I couldn't use it). After hitting the new strops it now passes a HHT without a whisper (before it was an audible pop).

I had already shaved but I tested a bit on a little patch that I missed, and was even silly enough to do that dry. No pulling and it didn't turn me red. I think I may do tomorrows shave with it.
