    I like the den, and the video was well done. An especially nice rack that you've built for yourself. I do, however, disagree with the importance that you place on the HHT as an indicator of a shave ready blade, but that's up for discussion in other areas of the forum. Again, great video, and nice gear.

    Hi Pastor from Naples Florida!!
    Great video. I assume your beard is more than one days growth? I will never tell anyone again I have a heavy beard if that is just one day!!
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for posting that! It's always nice to see another video made about straight razors as I must've seen every other one by now. Nice shave den.

    Great vid and some good tips. I'm with you in finding enjoyment in restoring and honing old razors. I am with Holli in saying that the hanging hair test is not a good indicator of a shave ready razor. The true test is in the shave.

    It is an impressive test when it works and says a lot about your honing abilities in that you can get it to work, just not a good test for shave ready razors.
