Magnus,
That Tuckmar has some exquisite scales.
Having a lazy start to a Sunday, heading out on the boat later for a quick run then dinner, so the wife said I have to look presentable hehehe
One of my favorite razors to get in for honing Le Gerlot 1/4 hollow these things are just sooooo smooth when they are tweaked in..
Took out the chips and re-set the bevel on the Chosera 1k then went Chosera 5-10 finally worked the razor on the Nakayama to an almost dry slurry for the final finish..

Just a freaking awesome shave !!!!
Cheers Henry. the MOP & Alabone took a very nice shine after 12k micromesh :D
i love how thay look. but a minus is the waight. i dont like the balance point in scales like this. same with stainless steel scales. kinda makes it hard for me to hold a ferm angle while shaving since it feels very back heavy.
