Thanked: 2591Found my finisher finally
After trying the Nakayama I got earlier this month I found out I need a better finishing stone. I talked to people and ended up buying an Oohira Suita rated in the high 30k grit range.
I got the stone in the mail today, and immediately went on to test on 2 razors.
The razors were finished on Nakayama, CrO, leather strop.
I ran ~ 80 passes (40x40 circles) on the Oohra, and under 100x I could definitely see that the scratch pattern was much finer than the Nakayama.
I decided to test shave with both razors and see how it feels.
I shaved right off the hone, no stropping no CrO, no beard prep.
I quickly face lathered with a Mamabear's soap, and shaved half face with one razor and half face with the other.
Shave was smooth and easy, definitely better than all my shaves so far.
Razors used:
#13 Filarmonica Double temple
Historic Spartacus 6/8-7/8
