Then one day I decided to give the webbed fabric an extended try and I have been using it daily for a couple of weeks. Seems to work very well for me. Nothing scientific or checking the edge under my 30x before and after but just from the HHT and the shave I'm liking it.

Hey Jimmy,
Question? Does it make the cool sound that linen does when stropping? Thats one of the perks of linen, for me. Is the webbed stuff synthetic?

Thanks,
Mac
