Thanks for the newspaper tip! I think I'll be using that in the future. But in this particular razors case, it's the razor. For paste .5 "maybe" is as deepest I will be going in the future before stropping and shaving. This razor carries a wicked edge and will shave the barbed wire around the crown of my head all day. It just needed to be used for a few shaves before settling down.

In case you where wondering 7/8 Hugo Radar, just finished rescaling it.

Kind regards,
