<cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha>Outstanding shave!</cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha>

This razor has always been a major PITA to hone but with an incredible edge. After it went dull a few weeks ago I had a terrible time getting it back up to its formerly lofty heights. I could get it to shave well, but couldn't quite get it to that effortless 1-pass BBS shave that it used to deliver. I had begun to suspect my hardwood Chrome Oxide paddle was warped again, so yesterday I made a vellum-on-tile paddle and gave this razor about 40 laps and it's back baby oh yeah!
