Thread: Honing Epiphany

I like to think I am shaving the hone; whatever it takes, right?

Oh I know!

The FR pair and the eagle I picked up in the antique shops had little to no hone wear and were in very good condition. I haven't seen anything close that hasn't been restored lately. I need to get away from the city I think to do some shopping.

There ya go! That about sums it up. As my face has dried and am now at a normal amount of hydration for the day I must say it turned out as good as I have had in the last year for a 2 pass shave. I only do a 3rd pass If I know I am not going to be able to shave for 3-4 days as my face seriously dislikes it so 2 passes is my norm.
