    Taking my 7 day set of Heljestrands to the stones

    Finishing on different stones so I'm able to choose which finish I feel like shaving with.

    In order on the picture: Naniwa 12K, Suehiro 20K, a La Grise Coticule and an Escher; all razors were finished under running water with very light weight of the blade only pressure. Stropped and ready to go.

    Adding a paper in my 7 day set to track my data (pre-finisher, finisher and a rating system for how my edge / shave feels) as in the past I had the tendency to forget which razor was finished on what stone

    Lot of variables to keep track of. Notes are the way go.

    Three high-end razors on the hones yesterday, a complete bevel set on two of them all were finished on a Suehiro Gokumyo 20K.

    Jamie-What is that gorgeous razor on top. I love the design, and what wood is that?

    I'm not sure? though I'll take a guess I would say, African Ebony.

    Wow. Nice picture. Looks like it’s right out of a magazine.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
