Hello Webs and welcome to SOTD and SRP. The stone you see is called Nagura. It is used to raise slurry against a bigger stone, called the JNat (Japanese Natural). These are called natural hones, which are in turn used to sharpen razors. Natural, because they were mined from mountains in Kyoto. There are different kinds of JNats, each with a different purpose and grit factor (i.e., roughness). There are also synthetic hones (like Nortons, Naniwas, Shaptons, etc...) as there are a number of other types of natural stones/hones like Eschers, Thuringians, Coticules, etc.
Excellent shot and blade Tom
Excellent shave Lars.
Global warming? What global warming, LOL? Sorry about the small nick Otto.
Congratulations Monnbeam. This blade took a good long time to make her way to you, but she's finally here.
Now, I am going to call everyone I know in your neck of the woods and have them stay off the roads, LOL...otherwise you'll be leaving a 10km trail of blood and bodies, LOL, LOL.
We missed you on SOTD my friend. Can't wait to see this blade (and badger) of yours in action
Mikael,
Now, that sounds like a heavenly shave. The "shaving zone" is an beautiful place to be in. Congrats
Congrats. You're absolutely right. We all obsess over that all elusive "perfect" edge. But, that's the name of the game and what makes this fun
Grant,
We will be worrying with you, but as you said, this is a very good stage to be in. There are far more kids that come out of this free and clear than those that relapse. Jack is strong and will pull through
BTW: Great DE. Congrats. Looks like a Gillette design...I am almost certain.
As moonbean would say: YABADABADOOOOOOO!!!! Congrats on your 1000th post Bill. And what a shave. Well done.
Congrats on yesterday and today's shave. I have not yet had that problem, but I can see how the skin may still be content from a BBS shave. Tomorrow will be better
HUGE +1. Well said Grant.
