Prep: Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak /Barbasol lather left on during shower Razor: 5/8 Cosmo Silver Steel, 5/8 Spike, 9/16 Spike Hones: King 1k, Norton 4/8k, 300 laps CNat 12k, 10 laps diamond paddle, 10 Laps CrOx Paddle, 100 Clean Felt, 300 Leather Brush: 24mm Silvertip Uber: RazoRock Cacao AS: Alum Block & Tend Skin & OBR Sandalwood Edc: OBR Result: Honed these razors last night. The Cosmo needed some more time on the Cnat. This was one phenomenal shave, as they all three had an amazing edge on them. I also worked on the 2 Spikes from my JaNorton month. They both got a good workout that month, and needed some more attention now that I've learned just a tad more. One thing about stepping up the diamond paddle is it makes the edge really sharp and a tad bit harsh. They were so sharp I had to be extra cautious while using them. The Cosmo now has an edge that is good to go for some time. I imagine that additional stropping as they get used will tame them down a bit, but I got the edge and the feel that I was after. Talk about no tug or pull. All 3 were downright scary to use, but sure left the face BBS, no doubt. A very fine shave to be sure, and the addition of the Tend Skin was a must. As someone above me said, shaving with your own edge is cool, no matter the results, but this time I got the result I was looking for!!
No Pic tonight!
Happy Shaving All!
