Having a bit of fun
One on One with Tamahagane Kamisori
Chosera 1-5-10 into my Nakayama with Kita slurry
Used a variable ratio on it
1k = 7:1
5k = 5:1
10k = 3:1
Nakayama =1:1
Took a little extra time on the 1k to Re-set the bevel and eliminate the small chips ..
Magic marker test tells all 😜
This ratio works really well for people that will probably use both Front and Back to shave with
Stropped in using two bench strops
One with CeOx, yes Cerium, it wasn’t a misprint, into pure clean leather…

Couple of barbers razors needed a clean up.
The lucky 77 is a nice German hollow, the beaver, was my barbers first razor and I offered to clean em both up for him.
Took them through the progression, but finished them both on a coti, diluted as I ended the session.

Being in the US Barber don't use Straights.
But I talked a lot with my barber about them. He has been doing hair with scissors for over 50 years. He says he went to barber school, not beauty school. LOL. He says if he never has to touch a Straight again it will be too soon. He hated giving shaves as someone would complain they didn't get a BBS shave or some would come in on Sunday morning and reak of alcohol and he hated having to put up with it. He does a great job on my hair and his name is Jerry. Hard to beat that!It's just Sharpening, right?
