Thread: Hone of the Day

Yesterday's honing for today's Fathers Day shave The TSC in a new razor to me, so I went the Nani 1k for a clean bevel set and then to my recently acquired Uchigomoru Suita With natural slurry from the 1k Diamond plate through to clean water then onto a Nakayama Asai with the same deal slurry to clean water Had a lovely shave this morning with a new bay rum & lime soap from the first Canadian shave soap company

Great slurry shots Substance.
Had some fun with Barber hones. Many can be had for next to nothing and like Geezer says, "Keep going back to look"

This Warhawk was honed in progression from left to right. Finished on an un branded Norton razor "Axe" hone. Mike

Spent some time finishing a big Puma and wanted to use Phrank's beautiful Escher on it before I packed it up to send it back to him.

Test shave proved a deliciously buttery edge that still mowed through 4 days growth with ease.
So, I need to run a few more over this stone while I have it here.

Just a couple....
