Tuesday
Razor | De Pews| Cream | O Melhor | After Shave | Lavanda
I gave the De Pews 20 laps or so on the Shapton 16k yesterday and the result was quite good. I still don’t know if it’s perfect. I’m really annoyed with myself that I caused the hone wear on the Bengalls. At least it’s a learning experience. From now on I’ll ALAYS use tape. The softness of the steel on the Bengalls is really evident to be in comparison to my other razors. I used the last of the O Melhor today; I think I’ve had that tube for maybe a year.
Feeling a little bored today, I’m on holidays for a week but I have no money to actually DO anything. I may do a workout and then maybe write some letters…
Hope you’re all having a good week so far.
I think it was the smokes that actually did it. My wife and son asked me if I remember how LOUD I was. I get very LOUD when I drink...I'm actually on holidays at the moment, so I can recover with ease...
I'd take a guess at an Eric Anton Berg, the tang looks similar in shape to one I have. I find the Swedish razors to have really hard steel...

I set the bevel on this razor with a coarse DMT, and then after that I honed it with 3 grits of lapping film on glass. Finished up with 1 and .5 micron diamond paste on balsa and leather. First time trying the lapping film, and the blade has a slight bit of tug but causes no irritation. Gonna give it some more of the .5 micron before next use. Hope everyone has a good week waiting for them :)

Carl, I'm not sure what it is, but I know the edge needs some more refinement. It is really sharp, but lacks slightly in the smooth department. I just couldn't pass it up for the embarrassingly low price....
