Got all set up to start and decided my Zen was not there.. Beer!
Been a hard week. My hands are tired.

Somebody hone something on something! Maybe in a day or three I will get to it.

What a lazy, no good hone you have there, Tom! Give him a few treats next time.

Hear that, jfk742? Get us a shot of the razor refresh you’re planning to do this weekend before Tom loses it in a bad way.

Treats would not work on those hones tonight......Perhaps some lashes?

Nope....Nothing doing

Just finished a restore on this one, last night.
Fresh off the rocks..!!

7/8ths Wm. Hargreaves, bevel set on the green brick, progressed to the Washita with water, to a slurried Coti, diluting to water. Then finished on a BG Escher BD, slurry on one side, water on other.

WooooHooo! Special!

Red tape creeps me out for some reason...

Wonder why..

I've always preferred the colored tape, over the black. Don't know why, just do. I like the blue, best.

Keep a few strips on the water bottle, just in case.



I still use the black, got plenty. Ya see..I know this guy..worked for 3M. Don't think I'll ever need anymore black, if ya know what I mean.

That roll I got from B52, was twice as big as I got it. Was huge! It is Scotch brand #22. Tough enough!

Will do, I have nothing exotic just some trusty naniwa ss. May have to have you strop as mine seems to be giving me fits.

Naniwa ss 2-5-8-12 finished on the 12.

Sonny, got a frameback in there for you, wade and butcher with HOLLOW GROUND etch.
Wester Bros should be on its way to you speedster (pending strop nonsense)
The International is going to be shaved with in the morning for an early Christmas with the in laws.


Goodnight gentlemen.

Smoothed out these two razor edges,a Hellberg and a Gong on a la grise looking natural combo.Seems my Swedish steel razors shave with a tiny bit of harshness.Could be just how hard they are,I suppose?

JFK, it is awfully nice of you to hone up my W&B Hollow Ground rattler for me.

Yours and mine appear to be clones. Mine is a 6/8, I've seen larger versions of the same razor though. Working on mine right now.

Here it is with the full lineup. I only use the DMT for flattening when needed, the little brown stone that came with my Choseras seems good enough from day to day just to keep the stones "fresh", so to speak.
