Thread: Are You A Real Man? Do You Think You Can Hone? Shave Off Of Your 1k Hone

I was thinking a sweet, thin razor with a nice bevel for him to 'begin' with!

It was not a great shave. I have had rougher shaves before I really knew how assess my edges. I have to thank Geezer for the loupe and Catsrentshaving for showing me how to use it properly, and Glen for the videos and the challenge initially. Since then it has been practice practice practice. I can feel my face and say for absolute certainty, this was not a very close shave, but closer than I could get with a cartridge and much more irritation free, in fact the aftershave did not burn like I had expected.

What IS that wore-out thing? My, you have scratched the strop!

That my friend is a very old Henckels 8.
The "scratches" on the strop actually came from the heel of my hand :-0
They are from yesterday when I was getting it ready for its maiden voyage.
Apparently I need better lotion, or a better scrub brush.

Indeed! I have rubbed the old boarhides a lot, but never managed that.
Some mink oil! Rub it out!

Lubriderm daily moisture for the paws.

No. But I have to wonder why you would ask.
Is that a pick up line?
