    Default Found 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
