That member has since switched to a barber's hone as I understand it......I don't think he would like to be reminded of window sill method which may have been passed on to him as a practical joke by a more experience straight razor user Anyway, it wasn't me, I started with a shavette so I thought you were supposed to bleed when you shaved. When I got a spike point...my first razor...easy peasy lemon squeezy.
