Shaving with a SR becomes muscle memory- every aspect from the angle to the stroke to the direction to shave becomes instant- nearly no thought required. Once you know what your doing the biggest worry you have is what soap or cream your going to use with which aftershave, which razor your going to use, what brush and what music you want to listen to.
That's what makes this suck a great 'sport'.


Great job on that edge BTW, for someone to pull out a rock before their first shave and be successful with it is a feat in itself!

I can totally see what you mean vis a vis muscle memory. And considering how well I can see the blade at all times, that's a good thing! The DE experience helps, actually; I've got a decent feel for blade angle from it. And thanks for the attaboy on the repair. I just took it slow and steady.

However, having honed the eBay blade and then compared to the SRD Aust blade, I've concluded thumbs down on my honing job. So it's back to the naniwa tomorrow. Second time for sure!
