Result: | This is the maiden shave for this razor, bought new last November. After months of trying to get a bevel set, seriously at least 10 tries due to a slightly warped grind on one side, the rolling X's came through! I was able to get it set, hone it to shave ready on the 8k and got brave before bedtime last night and polished it a little more on the Cnat. It shaved as good as any razor I have honed yet. The alum tells the tale and it was the same sting I get from my best blades. The vegetal is growing on me slowly so I keep trying it. The Canoe is a great scent that seems to go with the Vegetal scent very well. |
