    judging by hot trending wet shaving trends, this wave of inspiration should last a SOLID two weeks (well deserved), at which point in time someone will figure out how to tweek a razor's finish on fresh pavement, and everyone will go into the homedepot buying tar by the gallon. And you know what? I'd be there.

    Well - that's two for two. The first stroke, the Boker was all... here's that keen I'm so well known for off the stones. But it subsided almost mid stroke and was gone by the second. It was a great shave! Two for two.

    The system or sheer luck? I don't know. But my Boker shaved like a champ and the crisp keenness was traded in for a smooth shave.

    LOL - well, maybe. I've done my share of two week trends, but this is making me pretty happy right now. I think I might finish all my blades like this for a while. I'm not in a rush to buy new stones anymore.

    I can relate to this! About a year ago I had a similiar experience and have been using Arkanstones ever since.

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

    Nice. I am sure I have tried the Arks before. I just don't remember such great results!

    What should we call this? Coticule slurry on Arkansas method...

    Arkenstein?

    Article?

    The Black Mamba?

    Malarky?

    La Ark?

    The Rockettes?

    RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

    Puns welcome!
