    Great score Birnando. This link here may be useful for you if the day comes you need to touch up your lovely Zowada. Matter of fact Tim is using the same brand stone to finish his razors as you have there. When only the best will do.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks JimmyHAD, that was a very interesting page. Bookmarked

    The razor arrived slightly dull and with a few small chips in the edge, So I have spent the afternoon honing it.
    2-5-8-12K Naniwa SS and finished off on the Escher stone.
    Did just a couple of laps on a paddle strop with ,5 diamond spray(hard felt).
    Then 30/60 on the SRD Premium IV.

    I'll tell you, that was one sweet shaver Had myself a wonderful half hour in the bathroom chopping them off!

    You my friend, have had a banner week. Congratulations!

    It may be splitting hairs, but why would you say the Escher is NOS?

    Thanks Chris. A fine week it has been

    I'm sorry if I have used the wrong term regarding the stone.
    I was told by the seller that to his expert eyes the stone appeared unused.
    (a highly regarded gent from this site).
    And since Escher's are old I figured NOS fitted.

    Anyhoot, it put a heck of an edge on this lovely Zowada
