I’ve been shaving with Method edges from the start and kept reading about the wonderful edges produced on Jnats. Curiosity finally got the best of me and I had a honemeister put a Jnat edge on a
Shumate for me. I shaved with it this morning and was surprised to find the Jnat edge to be as good as The Method edge. In fact, I really couldn’t tell the difference. It was just as comfortable and produced a BBS shave in two passes. I’m not going to do the pasted balsa maintenance on this razor but will only strop with leather until it is no longer comfortable. Having always stropped .1u diamond on balsa after every shave, I’ve never experienced edge deterioration and figured this would be a good opportunity.
