This was my first use of the 30 mm WD. I like the brush, but will have to spend a little time figuring it out. Shave was good, and I seem to have had good success with the Bluebird.

I did a one stone hone with the razor using the Guangxi stone. I started with a heavy slurry and slowly diluted it. I finished with some .5 diamond spray from SRD, 20/40 passes on a Bison horsehide stop with linen. I have never had much luck with the Guangxi, but seem to get a fairly decent edge this time. I am still not a big fan of the full hollow razors but the Sheffield Cutlery was an exception.
