Yeah, I'll probably have to bring it down to at least 8K if not the 4K. I have some other razors to work on as well, so I'll just throw it on the pile.

The first one (creme + soap + glycerin). I rarely do two cremes or two soaps (but I have tried...it's still good. With 2 soaps it's a bit harder as you need to clean the brush before using the other puck). 2 cremes is easier.

More is better, LOL. For me, sometimes just honing one razor is not worth the hassle. The setup takes too long to justify one blade, LOOL. Have fun

Thank you !!

And my thoughts. Hmmm ... Just before DO NOT CUT YOURSELF place the SR lightly on the side of you face ... get that sideburn ...

RESULT:
Star: Michael Madsen ... (aka Mr Blonde)
Music: "Stuck in the middle with you" Stealers Wheel
Scene: Black suit .... interrogation ... razor ...

Quentin Tarantino "Reservoir Dogs" LOL


And it was just a nick. Cold water and some alun and it was OK :-)

I am curious about the brush handle finish...Is she protected with some varnish/CA or something? The reason I ask is because I have a Rudy Vey in Kingwood and I opted not to have it covered with anything and I worry about when it gets wet.

Thank you Robert! They´re a little bit more rare than the 30 series, but I think they´re of a later model than the 30 series (I guess they produced less and less straight razors). Mine is a 1/4ish, so it´s pretty wedgy too though. Some factory sheets I got say that the B K series are 1/4 and that the M K series are more of a 3/4ish (they don´t use that ground system in the factory sheets). The sheets I got are for a certain time frame, so it could have been different for a different time frame (Heljestrand seemed to like changes ).

You should be careful...of course, but it works very well.
