Thread: Newest babies came in the other day

Not meaning much, coming from me, in this company, but I don't soak my Choseras either and I use the cleaning stones for slurry (works faster and leaves a nice edge, that I like - less slurry/more water the higher the grit, I've got 600, 1k, 2k, 5k and 10k, the four later is my "normal" progression and usually ending with a Shpton GS, as I wrote earlier).

4 Month update:

Somewhere around 550-600 razors later on these hones and I couldn't be happier, they work fast and exact...

I bought them as a progression into a finisher and that is how I use them, but a conversation with Jimmy the other day prompted me to try pushing the 10k again.. I had a really nice 6/8 Dorko in for honing so I took it up through the progression, but instead of taking it to an Escher after the 10k, I worked that hone a bit more as a finisher.. I added an extra 20 or so laps on the Linen then to the Leather for 100, Shave one hour ago was DFS and no burn now, I always have to wait about 1 hour after the shave to test for irritation on my face, I can get a great shave, but if the edge isn't really smooth after an hour I will start to feel it.. First time the Chosera 10k has passed the 1 hour test.. I bet with just a few laps on CrOx the shave would be even smoother ...

I have nothing to contribute here, but wanted to jump in for any other updates.
