This was a rough one. I'm testing the 1k honing and it isn't going well, which says a lot for my need to study bevel-setting. Then I couldn't get a good lather going from the T&H soap, even after two attempts, so I gave up and grabbed the RazoRock to finish off. Razor burn and frustration tonight, unfortunately.

Pretty stoked about this morning’s shave. Test drove a new-to-me, completely restored W&B 17/16… Whoa! What a blade and what a shave!

I think we've all found this site to be a wonderful source of support and a tremendously uplifting experience. What you and Grant have been through this past year is incredibly difficult to fathom. The strength and positive outlook you have each projected stirs me to the very core. We are all here for you, if ever you need us. Best of luck to your ridiculously cute grandson!...

Ta, thanks a lot. It gets easier as you do it more, a bit like SR shaving... Thanks very much for the comments...

Ta, like I said above, it does get easier. I'm able to handle it better now...
The operation today actually went very well, and Bailey was hilarious when he woke up, he was still under the influence of the drugs and he was very entertaining... Thanks for the comment. They mean a lot to me.
