Thread: super hollow coticule

Cheers Alex - thanks to a member who PM'd me I did not cut the rock (However I was ready to ... ) he stated that if a barber used it for so long it must have been Ok - so I took the chance and I honed my 15/16" Rodgers wedge this afternoon - I'll see how the shave turns out tonight , regards Bart

hello Ok I'll give it a try - honed my freshly restored 15/16" Joseph Rodgers on that stone today - nice edge but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating - will give it its maiden shave tonight
