Thanked: 1992nd Shave
Razor : 7/8" W&B chopper
Method :
Just for the heck of it, I did 5 sweeping X-strokes on the N4k.
I then went to the N8k with just water. Using only the weight of the blade, I did 10 sweeping X-strokes again, then rinsed the hone, and did 5 more in a stropping manner (spine leading) followed by 1 sweeping X-stroke.
I then stropped 40x on my homemade denim cloth strop, followed by 40x on my homemade cowhide leather strop.
Shave : I did my usual 2 pass shave (WTG, XTG), following the same prep procedures I always do. The shave was fairly comfortable, and ended up fairly smooth, very similar to shave #1. Again, I will try something a little different next time and see what happens.
