One, Two, Three. Four... can I have little more?
Paraphrasing the first verse of the famous Beatles song "All Together Now", after two excellent shaves obtained first by finishing the blade with the Mejiro and then, adding the Ozuku Suita, I wondered if I could achieve "a little more".
Note: Ozuku Suita's Tomo Nagura is the one that microscopically has the finest appearance and the one that gives the best results when shaving, among all the Naguras in my possession. So... how to get that "little more"?
Inspired by a video seen these days, I wanted to try an oil finish on Llyn Idwal (Welsh Novaculitis).
So, after a light edge joint, I made two rounds on that stone. Got a pleasant feeling during honing and a quite nice microscopic aspect. The bevel shows a quite fine "Oil Kasumi" and the edge was quite (always IMHO of course) straight and clean. The blade passed the treetop test, but in a less aggressive way than the previous finish.
Shave test was positive this morning. I lost a bit of closeness, but gained a bit of smoothness. So, the final result was, more or less, very close to the previous ones.
Did I got a little more? I have to say no, not that way. But, at least, I didn't got a little less... ;););)
