Let's know how it works out

My DMT 325 arrived today. Im going to lap my Naniwa 12k this weekend.
Brand New DMT may have a few high spots. Its true flat for sure, some errant diamonds might be different heights.
I would lap a 1K hone with it first, Or run a chisel across it.
If you go straight out the package to the 12K you may get a few scratches in the hone.
Ask me how I know. DMT 1200 new to my jnat, That one hurt my feelings.
Jonathan Pitchford. A great razor to have in the kit. I own one similar and have one on loan from Sharptonn as well.
You will enjoy it I reckon.
Neil was a fantastic resource who is missed often. I was fortunate to know him slightly on here when I was just starting into this way of shaving.
If you have a mentor near by I would recommend reaching out once you have that Pitchford in hand.

These arrived today from Stirling Soap. Supposedly the same bristles as the Plisson. Tried the 26mm. It's a beast.

Got a Norton 1k, 4k, 8k, and 325 DMT on the way. Also found a 200x pocket microscope to play with. Should be interesting.
It looks like its gonna cleanup nicely to me. Good luck with it. I too, like those old Sheffield steel blades.
