Got my first straight today and it was supposed to be shave-ready, but when I did the HHT and tried to shave my arm hairs it clearly wasn't ready. I thought I saw a smile on the blade but when I used my loupe at x30 it looked like it was just some lint. So I decided to get out my 12000 Shapton and give it a few laps then stopped for a few laps. The edge was sharp and looked good under the loupe and the HHT went well. I did a quick shave on my arm and it felt smooth and easily removed the hairs.
So tomorrow I'll try my first shave and see how my touch-up went. If you don't hear from me you can send donations to...
