    Default Honey Im Home

    Couldnt resist

    anyway after some research it looks like this is my path.

    norton 4000/8000
    Belgian Blue
    Belgian Yellow
    Tony Miller Strop

    and an stern word from the misses as I am an all or nothing guy and spreading this out over time wont do it, best to get it out like a bad splinter

    I like to offset it with a nice trip, dinner, clothes shopping so I can say shes pampered too

    I personally wouldn't compare straight shaving to a bad splinter...but that's just me!

    in correction, I meant to convey that some gents think of shaving as a chore...those that have not been enlightened.

    Why a Belgian blue? You can go from the 8K Norton straight to the yellow coticule.

    I actually hated it

    Good hone arsenal, no doubt about it. And you may be on to something - getting it over with in one mighty leap

    Kees brought up an interesting point; I don't use the Blue much myself. But then again - some people say that's all they need for a perfect shave (no yellow used after it). YMMV

    Good luck
