Thread: Luck was on my side!

Thanks for the kind words. I wanted to repeat the experience, so I shaved with her again today. 2 day growth(which I can't stand) & the same soap. Wow, awesome shave again. I have 2 other razors that need to be honed, a satinedge and a J.A.Henckel 415, but I'm going to savor this one for a while before honing them. I'll report back if I'm successful with either of those two. Thanks again.

Very nice, it is a great feeling shaving off your own edges.

When ready try finishing with the coti on a few drops of oil.

Another noob question, what kind of oil?

Any thin oil would work. I have been using baby oil (mineral oil). Finish just like you would on water, then add a couple of drops and given it about 50 light pressure laps. Gives it a little something else. The coti washes off without any problems using dish soap.
