Applied a 3rd layer of tape and formed a micro bevel ala the unicot method, sharpness improved buy could it still be more so? Only one way to find out!
Result of the shave test: DFS Very Clean.

In memory of absent friends
I sit here remembering friends now gone, with a glass of brandy.
On Sunday my martial arts club are holding a 10 hour training session for charity to mark the passing of one of our black belts due to breast cancer aged just 46, today was her funeral.
Wish me luck for Sunday as I intend to do the full 10 hours.
I raise a glass to our own Mark and my friend Sarah both taken too soon.

Nic,
Sorry to hear about Sarah...cancer knows no bounds. Nasty disease. 46 is way too young. Life's cruel joke on us all, but may she rest in peace my friend. My thoughts are with you on this grueling 10 hr training. I am sure your strength will persevere.

PS: Great shave with that JE btw and keep at the honing. Sounds like a few more laps here and there and this blade will give you one of the smoothest shaves you've experienced to date. Well done

In my profession I deal with death on a regular basis, but the passing of Blugill has struck a chord close to home. I pray that his family can find comfort and peace with their loss.

David,
I am certain that wherever he is, he is looking down and toasting our shaves every day and every moment from across this great blue planet of ours. So, I join you in raising my glass in his honor and memory, which will live forever in all of us.

Vibes to all that have been touched by Blugill, in my short time here I began to appreciate his contributions particularly SOTD and BOTD.

Nice C-Mon Dunc. I am sure one day, she will deliver as satisfying a shave as with the Black Star. Maybe a little tweaking of the edge?

PS: Mark's contributions will surely live on
