    I have found it best to stay old-school. Hone and strop. some CroOx. I shaved off some pastes for several years. Shaves are much nicer without them, IMO

    I have wondered before ( and am starting to believe) that a lot of the hone wear on older razors is actually pasted strop wear!
    They had a plethoria of pastes back then! I often wonder if this is not why the edge does not follow the spine in some!

    "Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
    I rest my case.
