Yes, more loft on that brush than I generally have. I do like brushes with a lot of backbone though.
Test will be tomorrow when I work up a lather with it but It felt good when I tried it dry on my face before setting in with epoxy
More fun at rolodave's.

I 'Think' I can see where my Harley 'Marked it's territory' on the floor in that pic.:gaah:
Sorry Dave, I should have thought about the slight leakage :banghead:
“The blade face is currently sanded out to a Trizact 1200 grit equivalent. It is a nice looking satin but doesn’t look right for the blade. Not sure how to achieve a glazed finish, maybe one of you guys has some ideas on how to do that?”
Hand sand with a wine cork and 600 Wet & Dry, from 600, 1,000 wet and dry will get you to near mirror, then 2k is close to mirror.
Then Crocus paper for satin or a good metal polish or green stainless compound on a buffer for mirror. Red rouge on a loose wheel will brighten the color further.
Lots of how to in the Library under repair/ restoration or hand sanding & buffing in the Advanced search. I think Mike used a Dremel.
Just finished honing this little beauty for my wife :)

Is your wife new to straights or were you just tuning up her razor.
Neither.
She really appreciates a close shave with a straight (that I have to perform) and has had her own razor for years now : a Le Grelot Royal Canada.
I bought this one in December, and well, we agreed that with its razer thin (like, a small 5/8) blade it would suit her well and be a pretty gift. I just had to find a pretext and some time to hone it.
