    Price ain't bad compared to Amazon for the actual Cactus Juice.
    Just went back to check their stock and I think I got the last one.
    In case others go looking.
    I've been eyeing that stuff too Mike. I'll probably pick up the same in the very near future. Hope it works for you!

    Some good news. Fedex got my Technivorm here so I have great coffee now, still waiting to see if the Westholmes and Eufros make it. They, along with medications, are still listed by the USPS as "label created, awaiting shipment".

    Currently waiting on a Ralf Aust from SRD. Can't wait to use it instead of the square point that's been trying to bite me!

    I have been considering dulling it, but I just think once the Aust comes in I'll save the vintage square point till I'm better.

    Just a few short swipes. It won't be seen, but it will be felt! I do it all the time after honing and shave-testing. Just the imp. At an angle lightly.

    Hey! Round-points can bite up there too!

    I have never gotten serious enough to keep my guard up as-shaving.
    That seems no fun to me!

    I mute my spike points as well. Just enough to take the bite out of it. A couple of strokes on the 8K and it is fine.

    Window sill?

    As I go down from the sideburn on a freshly-honed one, I can usually tell.....The underside of the windowsill is right there!
    Couple of light swipes and continue shaving. Matter of convenience!
