Thread: A first for me

Today, I'd picked out a razor that I haven't used in two or four years. A 11/16 Crown and Sword, that I knew had been finished on a 12k Naniwa SS. Now...I don't care much for a synthetic edge, anymore. Its just a bit crisp for my liking, even after a crap pile of leather, don't like it.!

So I threw in a layer of tape, and put a few skips across my, B/G Barbers Delight, directly, took it for a shave.

And I won't care
