Epd. I tried your 1k shave experiment and I have to say wow! I didn't really have much faith that I could do it, but I did! After setting a keen bevel on my Henckels, I stripped 100 laps on news...

Well my red imp just rained on my parade :( it wasn't a horror show, but she did feel more like she was scraping then the others and I had considerably more irritation then with the Stiz or my...

Fascinating epd. I do spend most of my time on the 1k. I will defiantly try this 1k shave with my next razor on the list to be honed. :)

I've been getting consistently smooth and close shaves with my Spartak, though I know I could get my razors sharper. I picked up a zenith barber stone in damn near mint condition and I've added it to...

No I do not:( I plan on getting one soon in the very near future though. Why?

Well I have a bit of an issue. I have noticed some scratches in the surface of both my 4k and 8k hones and have discovered that it has been caused by the Nagura stone. I have been using the nagura as...
