Result:After a refresh on the hones, this W&B was more than perfect. It was so smooth I thought I ruined the blade. I couldn't feel any drag whatsoever. I had to feel where I had shaved to believe it had removed anything, and where it had shaved was smooth as glass. I had no time for prep, or post worries, so I came in, washed my face, gel'ed up and shaved. It came out amazing. Cold water all the way, and it felt great when I was done. I apparently did a fair to good job refreshing this edge. |
