Wow, thirty years, that's a long time! Talking about not easy living with someone, my wife wrote on my birthday card "I obviously love you, you know how much you annoy me, and I'm still here, that's got to tell you something!"...
Happy anniversary!

Notes: Very good shave. Effortless 2-pass BBS, almost no sting. Razor finished on brown Special Stone.
The bevel just didn't want to go, so I put it off to the side and the next morning had another go. This time I put some tape on it and used the DMT325 to get out the crumbly metal at the edge, after that I went through the nortons. 1K, 4/8K, finished on the 12K Naniwa and stropped on leather 50 laps on an old shell strop. It was very sharp, but I think I need to go back and make it smooth...
