    Talking First Touch Up

    Just thought I'd just share my first "touch up" success with you guys.

    Just the other day I had to refresh my two favorite razors, after about 3 solid months of use, and one flat bang against my faucet (the faucet is square, and I hit the flat of the edge square on the flat of the faucet).

    I simply used 10 strokes on a CrOx-pasted balsa strop that I got from Avatar1999, and the one came right back. The one I banged, I did 10 passes on a barber's hone and then 10 on the balsa. I then stropped each, 20 on denim, 50 on latigo, and they both shave like a dream.

    I was so stoked I didn't screw either of the up!

    Great job! The feeling of maintaining the sharpness of a blade
    and then shaving with it is pretty rewarding. Keep it up!
