    Sending the razor back to the owner, especially when it's a tamahagane Iwasaki
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    For me, my least favorite part is honing... by a long shot. I thought about outsourcing it but then I'd NEVER get to shave with any of my creations, and that'd be no fun!

    I can't believe people don't like pinning.. nothing more satisfying than finally putting the stuff together after having worked on the scales and blade for however many hours...

    I don't like finishing, but I'm still tweaking it.

    I love honing!!!

    It's all good stuff! Just need to make more time for it.
