    Default I honed something and it actually felt like a razor afterwards.

    Ok, just to share my excitement about this. Last week I bought a old german junkshop razor that wasn't anywhere NEAR sharp enough. Now friday I got my Belgian stone in the mail and tried to hone the thing and when I used it on my face I actuallt got a clean shave!! For the first time in my life!!! So 2 firsts for me.

    1) I actually honed something to a shaveable sharpness (it really isn't all that hard I found...I'm sure the meisters could do better but for now it's good enough for me) AND!!!

    2) I got a shave with a straight and it's like everything I hoped it would be...damn my cheeks were nice..My girlfriend couldn't stop touching them......now all I need to learn is to do my throat the same way and I'm happy.



    just because I was excited. Hope you're happy for me.

    Thumbs up Awesome News!

    Good for you! Sure Lynn could probably do better, but you did it yourself and got a great shave. Now that's satisfying. You'll only get better edges and better shaves as things progress. Is that the blue stone or the yellow coticule?

    the yellow coticle with a darker side on the bottom. And You're right about the pakistani. I left that one on the shelf for a while as well. My Mach3 did a better job.

    Oh the Pakistani does a decent job shaving, it just irritates my neck a lot, which is still less irritation than a disposable razor lol. Fortunately, my new baby may get here as soon as tomorrow, so I will be able to catch up with you and also benefit from X's experience.

    Its kind of like cooking. The food you cook yourself always tastes better.

    That's not what my wife says. She says it always tastes better when somebody else makes it for you.

    I agree with your wife. I love when someone other than my wife cooks for me.

    I'd put up with mediocre food if someone else did the cooking (and the dishes). However if I do get married, I'm shipping my wife off to Serbia to be trained in the culinary arts by my aunt. In that case I'd also have to upgrade my home gym so I don't turn into something resembling my dad lol.
