    Rescaled the Invicta for the...third time?...Anyway, this little blade, that I made smaller due to honing, always does a great job. The other players were great as well.

    No probs, I'm actually trying to learn some from you. I wish I lived somewhere where guys get together for a razor meet. I've never actually SEEN anyone hone a razor 'in real life'. I find when a razor sticks to the stone it's essentially the suction caused by a nice smooth edge...

    Looks like that Captain's Choice stuff is pretty popular at the moment, may have to get some. What's the Cat o' Nine Tails like? Is it as 'stingy' as the web page suggests? I do like a 'stingy' AS; I always liked Floïd vigaroso...
