Comments: Wow, it feels good to shave with a razor that started with a huge frown and ended up as my first ever full restore, as well as my first time honing on a coticule. I posted some photos here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...h-restore.html. The smoothness was pretty close to perfect, though I think I might go back for another 10-15 passes on the coti with just water. I spent a couple of hours afternoon honing 4 razors and it was a lot of fun. I'll update The Noob Chronicle in a while. Have a great week, my SOTD Brothers! |
