I dunno, Andrew....It had a bit jagged edge as returning from up yonder?
Probably the customs guys testing the edge.....

All better now!

The hearty CDN whiskers took their toll no doubt. Was a wee tuggy when it left my den.

Tom's loupe showed a wee issue on the heel of the Gilchrist as well and in true Texas style he offered to true it up for me while he had it. Clearly I don't use the heel of the blade much as what was there would have been felt against the skin.

Time for a Friday shave then off to see my daughter perform

It was the toe of the Gilchrist and the same in the middle of the Lancet.
Sparkly and chippy???

5 finished this week back out Monday morning, no issues although the whole batch were ineed of a complete bevel reset so 1K Chosera up through the progression Chosera 1K, 3K, 5K, Snow White 8K Naniwa 12K finally Suehiro Gokumyo 20K.

I refreshed a Torrey on a Naniwa 12k and Thuringian bout this morning.

I got this SR Drescher from the German bay about a year ago. It had a visible chip in the heel. I've discussed this blade in other threads. Three times I have killed the edge, thought I set a bevel, and finished on my coticule. Each time I shaved, I was severely disappointed and finished the shave with the daily driver. Not so today...
Reset the bevel on the King, honed on the Belgian with milk slurry diluting to water, finished on the coticule with 150+ x-strokes on water. I now know what weight of blade pressure feels like. Here's the proof...


So smooth. I've had edges provided by Glen and Vasilis. Maybe not quite like their's, but close. And this one was mine...

Just hanging out doing a little dilucot on this little DD Satin edge staring at the forum and there may of been beer involved.

Honed up this GEORGE WOSTENHOLM & SONS rattler last night.

As always , Sheffield steel is a doddle to hone up.

Its my brothers but before I hand it back I'm gonna shave over a weeks worth of growth off with it.

This might just call for the Acqua Di Parma treatment

Last 3 of the day..

Two Harts and a Pattern-welded Zowada

1-5-10 Chosera

Nakayama Micro-bevel finish on the Zowada
Zulu Grey on the two Harts
