It's been so long I forgot how good a blade honed on these feels. Very forgiving edge that wanted to cut hair, and not skin but sharp enough that a 1 pass shave with minor water only touch ups here and there gave me one of the closest and most comfortable shaves of my life. 2 years in and I might finally be getting the hang of this stuff! :beer1:
