Today's honing was a special one. My newest stone with my oldest razor. This is the first straight razor I ever bought. I shaved with it for months before getting an old sheffield PIF'D to me.
It had a double bevel on it.
I took the edge and killed it vigorously against the side of the pyrennes. Set the bevel on the pyrennes and then proceeded to a slurried bbw. Got the bevel shiny and where it felt good on the TPT. Checked the loupe. Admittedly I knew it wasn't going to get any better in any reasonable amount of time so I added a layer of tape and did some light slurry back and forth strokes diluting to very very faint slurry and x strokes to finish. I think I'm in for a good shave.
Bbw are very slow... but the size of this monster 200x60 slab helps a lot.
Talk about irritation free... I love that about belgian stones.Last edited by s0litarys0ldier; 08-07-2016 at 10:34 PM.

7 Bismarks so far this week although I know there are a few more coming in over the next few days.
