Thanked: 25Right now, I've been using a 7/8 G. Wostenholm Celebrated IXL 1/4 hollow. I have two others that I have not been able to use yet because they were no where near sharp enough when I got them, bordering on being flat dull. So those are with a local guy being fixed up for me. Im not entirely sure what they have been honed on as the Wostenholm Im using was honed by the gentleman who is fixing up my other two. So I cant comment on what they have been honed on. Stropping has been done on a latigo strop.
I know this may come off as arrogant, but I dont entirely believe that its bad technique because if I can get a good shave with a shavette, I should be able to get a good to, at the very least, decent shave from a SR.
