Well I tried this French blade out again tonight after taking her to the stones once more. Put more efforts into the strokes than before and used a good slurry on the 4k before doing a pyramid on the 4/8, than moving up to the 12k cnat with clear water but again, more down force than in my previous go's.

Anyway, might have been treating her like more of a lady than she wanted all along. That and the spine smoothing, 2 layers of tape and 100 strokes on a bridal leather strop at the end of it all gave me a good shave. Not a great shave, but a good one.
I also tried a little rap music, just in case.

Cheers all, have a good week.
