smooth & comfy shave this morn. figured out the issue with stone or more probably how I need to do things to get my desired results. over time the stone will receive more work but has arrived to good place.
Wacker Chevalier
Arko (pucked and face lathered)
CRV
Old Spice Classic
This razor (and my Rigarazor), with it's aggressive French point, scares me every time I use it. But the results are always stellar. A wonderfully crafted tool and a work of art as well. Scary, but a joy to own and use.
experimental shave again today. will be seeing the Torrey quite frequently as i experiment with ark finishes. its wierd. DFS with BBS in some areas. passes HHT in two places. feels sharp but obviously not balsa sharp. comfortable and very forgiving. i got by with stuff this morning that wouldn't have flown with a balsa sharpened razor.
