Wow. Did a LOT of strokes on the Shapton 16k, concentrating on the toe. The result was amazing. I think Swedish razors with the harder steel REALLY like my Shapton16k. The edge was beautifully smooth. This was a Sunday afternoon bedroom shaving stand shave, with Brazilian lounge music and a glass of Cabernet Shiraz…

I haven't used this razor for a while and wasn't sure how the edge was.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the edge was superb.
A two pass BBS, cant ask for much more than that.

After ten days of absence, it is good to look at these pages again. Great way to start the week. I'll post up later after my shave.
