    CrOx is great stuff and I do still use it. If I didnt have my natural stones I would be finishing with a nice green pasted strop.
    Like all tools it depends on the situation.

    I stayed up late testing the new coti I won. Slurries up so easily and the edge feel while honing is definately different than my norton or any other stone I have. The garnets I presume. No whiskers to test but arm hairs were popping. Tried the unicot method. Thanks again Jane and Phil.
    As for that W and B that Phil put an edge on for me yesterday,, wow. Thanks man,, didn't even need that little bit of shave stick Mist left me, could have shaved dry it was so sharp.
    And no tip burr anymore.
    Steve, thanks again for the ole spice mug as well. Made room in the cupboard for it with pride. Going to use that one tomorrow night..
    Cheers.

    Misty Mike, in that first pic you captured the brush I want to buy off Andrew, right sexy handle that is. Nice resolution in all your pics actually, good camera.
    Nice to meet you at this one, as well as Steve, Hart, Marty and others I didn't meet last year and I agree we should try to get these gtg's twice yearly. It's just a relaxed eye candy full, and experience gathering opp that helps build a stronger community of straight users.
    Strange that I am looking for a Torrey, and a few new W and B's now on eBay.. Totally unrelated to the weekend fun..
    ;-)
