Yesterday I went to my barber for another haircut. It wasn't really needed but it decided to splurge and pay the P60 (now USD 1.25!). While trimming my silken locks, the barber was commenting on my SR that I let him use on me the last time that he shaved me. He couldn't get over how easy it was to shave with that edge.
My barber shaves about 2 to 4 customers a day now (P60 each). Ever since he last shaved me with my SR, he has been trying to get his (an old Dovo) up to a similar standard. He only has an old barber's stone that he inherited from is barber papa.
I told him about the diamond pasted balsa strops progression and maintenance that I use. He was very interested.
I have decided that over the next couple of days I will make and paste three diamond pasted balsa strops for him. I do not have access to thick acrylic or aluminum, so I will use my usual smooth ceramic tile and PVC structural foam for the substrates. I also have some spare 8mm thick balsa wood lying around.
Once all made, I will lend these to my baber with instructions on how to use them. If it works for him, he can keep them. If not, I'll take them back and give them to Erwin (if Erwin ever progresses to a traditional SR). Erwin is still learning shavette shaving.
The results should be interesting.
