Sheffield Cutlery 6/8 Full Hollow

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.

Saturday 5 mile run/ Cool Shower/Lecran Cutlery/VDH Boar Brush/ VDH Luxury Soap/ RazorRock Alum/ Old Spice EdC/ Firehouse Light Moustache Wax

Good run, nice shower, shave was a bit beans and rice but the razor was fresh off the stone and performed wonderfully. This shave was proof that a great shave can be had even with affordable locally available gear.
