Good progress I think. I had Friday off, so I spent some time with Glen's video (the one with Mark honing). Followed along exactly. At the end it still wouldn't pass the HHT, but this morning it gave me a much better and closer shave. But, still not exactly slicing through the chin stubble as effortlessly as I'd like it to, and was a bit uncomfortable.
So, this morning I had a nice relaxed honing session. Probably about 25 passes on the 4000, with very little pressure, and probably about 50 on the 8000, doing a thumb check and cleaning the stone after every 10. So, I haven't got anything to shave right now but - for the first time, doing the HHT on my arm, hair pops off it like mad.
It might actually be 'shave ready now. Will find out tomorrow morning.
