    Hi Jean,

    I use a Naniwa 12K finisher, but I also use a rather long pasted bench strop, pasted with chromium oxide and then the usual linen and leather stropping, here's my finishing table strops close at hand.

    Jamie.

    Brush: Rooney Super
    Cream: Proraso Red
    Razor: Puma 88 5/8
    After-shave: Dominica Bay rum followed by emu oil

    I truly believe my Kanayama strop brought the edge of this puma to a level it has never attained before. A superb one pass shave.

    That looks all very professional and neat and tidy. I just dump all my stuff on the dining room table, much to my wife's discontent...

    My good wife as given me the small back bedroom as my little restoration come honing den which I'm more than happy with, any successful marriage 27 years for me you both need a little give and take one small kind gesture as with this one, will usually bring a positive rewarding outcome for both parties, my Wife as always used this ploy on me.
