I just had a shave off el-cheapo and it's the best I've had so far. I'm going to get a better razor I think at Christmas, So i might post that off to Neil Miller to be honed so I have a benchmark to work from. It may also have something to do with my creme as well This is the first shave I have done with TOBS eton, I've been using the sandlewood one and there may be a difference, or it may be a scent induced placebo :D
I've got the camera charging now so I'll try get pictures up after work tomorrow in natural light. Lets hope it's not raining so I can use the garden table :D
On a side note, What stone should I look at to reset my bevel. I can't sit for a few hours every time I want to hone so what grit and make stone should I look at. I've looked at the norton 4K/8K stone, Is there anything else I should consider. At some point I will make the progression to vintage blades as well I think. So I'll probably need something that can work a shagged blade.
