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.
