    American stuff from 1890 or so on seems rock-hard to me as well. Lots of strokes involved, for me anyway!
    Glad you got it done! NOW, get another old blade and do it again!

    I rest my case.

    One I had Glen scale (Torrey ¼ or ½ hollow was never sure on that one) will be back with in a day or two along with the almost wedge

    (Sheffield that he re scaled and honed) and of course my new Elk Antler brush with Tiger-eye.

    Tue. or Wed. I should see that local piece of history I bought and be giving it a go.

    So tell me when does this supposed RAD set in?

    Start with the Torrey! That will cure your RAD for a while!

    Glen said 3 to 4 layers of tape for that one,

    it was one of my first acquisitions intended for practice, and it sounds like it may not be overly serviceable for every day shaving.

    But hey if I can bring that one back my technique should be solid by the end of it…

    Always look on the bright side of Life....
