I've just been trying to dial in the edge on this razor. I took it back to the BBW, followed by Coti, then a few laps on the Chrome Ox Balsa strop.
Pretty happy with where the edge is now, nice and smooth.
A two pass DFS.

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas

Results: I had a 8 mile run on my schedule , but I listened to the wife and changed my starting point ("because it will be easier")and it added a mile to my run After my run I wanted to try the Vintage Tally- Ho lavender I won on eBay, it wasn't good it lost its scent and it gained the smell of someones attic. So i ditched the tally ho And decided to treat my self to nice cooling shave. It was a fantastic shave and I'm on leave so it will be a few days before I shave again.

I am struggling to get an edge on this blade due to an unfortunate warped grind. Both ends are great but the middle is rather middling...3 passes to a DFS and I will have to give this edge another go. (Luckily I am stubborn, and in the infamous words of Bugs"You know of course this means war!")
Have a Great Tuesday Gents!

I didnt realize how many Japanese razors i had until i was redoing my storage. My daughter came apon a great way for me to store mine. So glad i chose this one today. Outstanding is an understatement. Such a smooth edge.

The best thing about that razor is that it can perform double duty. It removes the whiskers and then takes its own SOTD pictures!
