How did I know this one was going to get shut down.....

Sir, you are making assumptions again and trying to pass them off as fact. There is no realistic way that you could tell the comfort level of his shave from this video other than relying soley on your own preconceived notions, which in itself is unreasonable. Does Mr Carter ever say that his shaves are uncomfortable himself? And why would he, an obsessive sharpener, bother to shave with an intolerable edge? Obviously not to impress the wetshaving community.

You still don't know if you replicated his edge 100% as there are too many variables unaccounted for. When you first started honing did you watch a Lynn vid and nail it the first try?


Let me state again that this type of honing isn't my cup of tea, but until someone here tries an actual Murray Carter edge with an open mind and positive attitude all opinions are speculation and bias....
