He's got a little coticule bout that he does virtually all his sharpening on. He does a masterful X on it, and fast, without once lifting the spine, for about ten minutes.

A reminder that it's not about which tools you own but which ones you've mastered. Made me want to sell all the hones I've been acquiring.

Reminded me why I got into this thing: simplicity & self-sufficiency. Bravo LX!
Thank you very much for the compliment. I have to say though that I'll never (ever) cliam that my way is THE way. As you might have noticed in the video all I say in it is that this is the way I do it. Others might find another approach a lot more effective though. And I have to admit....if I had the money for it I'd most likely have already sprung for a bigger one and a blue belgian. But for now this will do just fine.

I'm just happy to be able to do this after only a year of straight shaving.
