Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

Good go, Zip! Great finisher, IMO.
Dieseled Dave will miss that, I predict!



Oh! Dave is a FINE man, I might add!

Nice, I've toyed with the idea of a 12k. But think it'd be more impulse than need.
Good on ya Dave.
Enjoy.

I could not do without Mine. That's for certain!

I didn't even know such a thing existed! But if ever there were a type of person to know about UNUSUALLY SHARP, it'd be one of us straight razor "wackos" . Lol.

SWMBO and I love cheese. Our refrigerator gets depressed when we get down to half a bag of shredded mozz., and a few slices of Kraft Singles (those are more for guests & their burgers). My wife especially likes sharp cheddar...

Allow me to feed the "impulse" hehehehe...

The Shapton M5 12k ceramic hone is only about $50 (+/- a few $$) on Amazon. It may not be a Glass series SS, but it will give you a taste of 12k for a fraction of the price. It is my finishing hone, and I am satisfied with it. I don't even have crox or anything for my strop yet.

Got me some strops in the mail last night. Now to find a good way to hang and find the progression. The new SRD Strops all feel hard, slick. Guessing they are going to need to be broke in a bit. So now ive got 6 strops with 5 diferent types of leather.


My spending is done till Christmas now. But i got strop!!!
Need to make some socks for them now. Dont want the sock too tight and have to fight it.

Oooooh... Strop envy...

They are nice Mike, and very enjoyable to use as the last step. Thanks Brother

My coticule is doing very nice as my last step. I have found it to be as smooth as the 12k and possibly a bit more smooth. Just my opinion.
Also, I have been helped and, guided by another friend here, as to getting the finish I have been chasing

Good on you dieseld. You are a fine gentleman! He even offered his help to me before.
Found a trick with the coti? Now i got to get one of those. Ha.

I will say the Nani SS 12k is an easy stone to use as a finisher.
But I've taken to the coti real well, in my opinion. I'm beginning to think, that stones are like our razors, brushes and soaps.
We each take to a different one that fits our style/preference. And th coti seems to fit me well.

Thanks Jerry
