An ugly problemed child becomes my new favorite

I wanted to share a success milestone for me.

I just moved my most recent regular go to to back to the hone line. Why? I surprised myself by honing up a slightly problemed Kobar High Class. These things are sweet razors, IMO, she's just not the girl I'd bring home... She's dirty and she's a character.

To start, the razor had a bit of what I posted regarding my Globusmen going on. Rather than adding the 2nd layer of tape, I was able to push, push and roll, and sythe my way up the ladder onto my face.

Now, I haven't compared the TNT to my untouchable, holy grail, pro honed shelf queen, but it seems to shave as nice or better(I think the steel makes a difference. The Kobar being solingen), but I have made such a leap in progress and achieving a big success, I had the best shave so far yet...and *without* a shower.

I can't wait to go back to the hones and lay that Globusmen on it(not to mention sending a few others back to square 1k).

Thanks for all your help out there guys. Your patience and encouragement is invaluable.

Kind Regards,

Simon

Glad to hear of your success! Hopefully I'll be in your shoes before too long!
