A thing of beauty
Tonight i am sitting here on the couch and reveling in the recent joy of watching the plain water on my Coti jump up on the bevel of my razor.
And the feel of a hair popping off the keen edge of the blade. I think i have possibly reached my honing nirvana.
I cannot thank all of you enough for your suggestions and encouragement.
Thanks and Merry Christmas my SRP brethren!

Yeah, I know...I thought that barbers' hones were the end of all of my shaving 'gear.' When will the madness ever end??? But seriously, when you keep hearing great things about one particular product and no negatives... well, the joke is finally on me.
