And Brothers I say to you...

If this be Heresy - then thou shalt go out and gather wood and stout stakes...
For one of us of both modest experience and basic collection of stones (Norton 4/8, Nan 12K, Crox Balsa)
Hath brought unto his razors a most wonderful & joyous edge, with results like those of the great Masters of the Stone...
I pray that we may let each other Not Tape or Tape or even Tape yet again in peace..
And that we remember the wisdom of: "YMMV" and "It is your Face & Razor my Brother"
For I do not wish to be led to pyre...

Smooth Shaving my Brothers...

Amen! Say it again! Works like a champ!

If we avoid sharing our ideas to avoid negativity, then we will avoid sharing our ideas. With that in mind, whatever I just said, sometimes I will add a layer of tape and do 100 laps on a very high grade glossy catalog cover. It has to be (IMHO) high grade clay color glossy. I don't know what grit or micron size the clay is. I wish I did. Anyway, it takes a 10/10 HHT to +11/10 HHT. I know HHTs are subjective and controversial. I'm not suggesting anybody else do this, or that it will give you a better shave. I'm just sticking my neck waaay out and adding one more OCD step to the mix. I always admired Rube Goldberg.
