Thread: The Grand Experiment- Phase 2

Some higher grits cut fast too. I think the 8k Norton cuts very fast and I have to be careful not to let it oversmooth the edge. My barber hone which I'm only starting to play with don't cut quite as fast regardless of grit.

Your darn tootin about that. The blue belgian though supposedly in the 6K range I find cuts verrrry slow compared to the Norton 4K. The yellow coticule which is in the 10K-12K range is way slower than the Norton 8K or for that matter my 12K Kitayama.

At any rate once again its time for the weekly update. I wish I could say the two TIs were still neck and neck but it isn't true. I'm finding that the SRP is starting to pull away from the third TI. Nothing drastic but the earliest signs are there. For awhile I really thought that the reason the Third TI seemed to win the last time around was because it might have been a better razor but it looks like that isn't the case afterall.

Before I jump to any conclusions though we'll let this thing continue and see how it shakes out. I think another week will point to who the winner if any will be. And yes the pattern is similar to what happened with the first SRP its the closeness of the shave thats deteriorating not the comfort factor. Yea maybe I should have used the same sharpening method this time around like the last but this is turning out to be way more interesting!

Maybe after this is all over I'll be able to come up with some high falutin law of shaving that will make me famous in the anals of shaving (pun intended LOL).

How about "You can't overstrop a razor".

I've been saying that since I can't remember when. (sounds like a song title eh?)
