I took the razor back to the hones for freshening up after what seemed like a very long time since I last honed the razor, it was lightly passed over the 8K then 12K and as usual the razor was ready for stropping after 50 linen 50 suede the finally 50 cordovan the razor was effortlessly topping hairs as it moved slightly above my arm. PS I had forgotten how sharp this razor could be fantastic shave so smooth a so close.

Beautiful razor, once again, I don't know whether to curse you or sing your praises the the razor Gods!

Also, I really have to do something with my photography, time to look for some type of software for the iPhone....

Cheers Phrank I never tire of using or looking at that razor. PS all my photo's are taken using a compact I sold my DSLR last year, I would love to own a a professional full frame DSLR with a prime lens as I really miss looking and composing a shot through the viewfinder I don't like any camera with a live view, but even though my Nikon 1 is a nice compact I still shoot everything on manual settings as I prefer to control the shutter speed and aperture.

Brush: Badger Hair from SRD
Shave: Lucky Tiger grooming set
Razor: Dovo 5/8 wedge
First successful stropping
