Thread: BBW and sizes

I participated in a project on Coticule.be that took the better part of last year to complete to determine the viability of a BBW for razor finishing. It included blind shave tests, 8 different honers, formalized (as much as possible) evaluations and honing technique, and random selection of BBW compared to a La Veinette Coticule.

I'm going to post a full write up about the testing and link to the 9 page report when it's released. It was interesting to see that most people couldn't tell the difference (we used 2 BBW and 1 LV on 3 identical DAs which most likely came from the same lot considering the way they were purchased). I was one who did tell the difference, and I rightly guessed the two razors I preferred were the BBW...

Keys: Finished on misty slurry instead of water, we used a double bevel, and finished with stropping strokes on the stone at the very end.

Again, there will be a full write up as soon as it's released.
