Update: This morning I shaved with my recently honed Filarmonica 4/8.This was my first razor, never managed to get a decent shave out of it. Today, for the first time in 2 years, with a thick "tabaq" lather, I had one of the best shaves ever. For me at least for now, circular honing will become my standard from starting slurry up until polishing on the coticule.

Had to share my excitement.
