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!
