A lovely shave to end what has been a crap year to be honest. Have lost too many very close friends.
On the positive, we had another Granddaughter arrive 4 months ago. She is gorgeous. Another one on the way for next year, and a Grandnephew arrive an hour ago...
Goodbye 2016, keep your fingers clear while I slam the door...

Shave with my second try at honing.
Progression:

Naniwa super stone 10k
Used for the shave:
SWK xl scuttle
Semogue LE 2 band
Lark
Dr Harris a Windsor
Pinaud clubman
Prep asb
Shave was somewhat beter then the first one, still far away for the kind of sharpness I like.
Will try if the Welsh slate will bring some sharpness. Otherwise I will go back to restart from the beginning, because of the stabilizer at the heel I find it still difficult to get it sharp there.Attachment 253421
