My Wapi is a little bit warped, but not so badly that using a careful x-stroke didn't get the whole edge sharp (at least for a little while!)

I'd be embarrassed to admit how many "finishing" laps I did on my coticule during the last session (let's just say more than 100 ). I had the same understanding that with so many laps on a coticule, it should not have been possible for me to have a wire edge.

Any thoughts on what's behind that trouble? Weak steel? I guess that shouldn't be a problem with these Wapis . . .

I shaved with the Chandler for the first time this morning . . . now that was a shave!
