Today I test shaved the first razor I honed. I restored it from rusted to mirror finish last year. it was my first restore. so today I decided to try honing it. I set the bevel and worked up to chromium oxide and strop. so I test shaved.... There were Neanderthals with brain injures incurred from wooly mammoth hunting accidents who got better shaves using rocks scrapped against the cave wall..... clearly I have much to learn. well off to start over!
