As I get older and wear and tear take their toll, I suppose I have taken to leaving the oldies with their imperfections pretty much alone. Originally Posted by celticcrusader

That and it's ever so much easier!

Honed up these 2 tonight. Bengal 6/8ths and a T.I 5/8ths
The T.I half hollow ,not mine but it is the owners favourite razor .
The Bengal I just shaved with and it was great, hardly any work on the stones.
Naniwa 1,5,10k & Gok 20k.
Cheers and Goodnight

Clauss honed on a natural combo coticule my friend Scott calls, the one that looks like a stick of butter.

This Thiers Issard hasn't been used in a couple of years; I prefer the smaller blades. But it's due. I thought I'd just touch it up, but I didn't like the undercut on my away stroke. So I slurried the coticule (for the first time in a year) and did the full meal deal. I like the keenness resulting from 40 strokes on the Cretan, but not the finish. 100 more strokes on the coticule with water and a good stropping yielded consistent HHT 3. I've done better recently, but that's what I got today. We'll see how it shaves tomorrow.
