New level of sharp, Belgians, no more moles
Okay, this week I got two NOS Thiers-Issard horn covered tang razors, a Sheffiled and a Spartacus. Beautiful razors, both needing a little bit oh honing. I also got a nice vintage 2" x 7" Belgian "extra-extra" select Yellow Coticle from a collection I bought.
Well I was happy with my sharrpening before although I occasionally send a few out to Lynn when they have me beat but this was a new experience. After a short session on the Belgian and a little touchup on 0.25 I promptly shaved off two moles that have never been an issue with any other straight I have owned!
I guess this is the new standard instead of the hanging hair test now for me.
