I actually live on Miller, two blocks over from Woodcleft! Can't say I know of the "Poop Deck." The restaurants/bars turnover quite frequently I think. Very small world....and thanks! :)

Not the greatest Shave I've had but, I still enjoyed the experience. http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...es/biggrin.gif
Just can't seem to get the edge right on this Klaas Prussian. I have been working on it and it's getting better but I need to go to a heavier grit hone which I don't have to re-set a good bevel. I'm not giving up yet. Adapt, improvise, overcome! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...s/think002.gif Don't mean to be a buzzkill. :boohoo:
Great shave kits presented by all this morning Gentlemen! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...s/happy005.gif
Just worked the Klaas over on the Austrian hone with some aggressive circular moves and pressure. Got some heavier slurry grit going and then stropped 50-60 on Linen and about 60 on the Leather. That seemed to feel a bit keener so might have to try that blade again tomarrow to check it out. I'm hoping this Prussia blade is like your Edekweiss Hog and work out to be a good shaver. It may be the steel is pretty hard and usually when you get a good edge on them they stay sharp. About the Mantra; it's a good one for all of us to use and your welcome to use it anytime Brother! :)
