    Bevel restored and set with 1000 Chosera, two layers tape.
    Then a progression of a fast cutting Thurigan with slurry diluted to clear water, then a BG Escher slurry- water, topped off with 30 with water, on a hard Dark blue Thurigan.
    20-30 laps Cr/Ox, 60 Latigo, 60 Bridle, 60 Roo.

    Test shave...very keen, but very smooth.
    No irritation, no complaints.

    Received this George Butler surgical razor, as a gift from one of our members, here.
    Had some small chips along the bevel, and looks to have had the sides of the spine, ground flat.

    So, Three layers tape brought it to the right angle.

    Chips removed, Bevel set on 1000 Chosera.
    Then my fast cutting Thurigan, slurry to water.
    Moving to a BG Escher/ barbers delight, light slurry to water.
    And finished on a hard, dark blue Thurigan, water only

    20-30 on Cr/Ox pasted linen strop.
    60 on Red Latigo
    60 Bridle.
    40-50 Shell.

    Test shave within the hour.
    Shave is OK, but I forgot to remove the third layer of tape after bevel setting. Jus had to shave at a higher angle than usual. Will be remedied upon the night.
