Honing Day

I spent some time today honing a corn razor. This razor and I have some serious history; okay, minor history. Two days ago it bit me after I finished honing it. It bit me badly – I’m not going to be shaving for a few days!

Not long after the fiasco a few days ago, I took the point on the razor and ground it down on my 600 grit DMT sharpening stick. Of course, after grinding the tip, I had to go back and hone the blade again, just in case I mangled the edge during the tip removal process. Restoring the edge was today’s project.

As you can see, I taped the spine, and I started the journey on the 4k side of my Norton 4k/8k. I didn’t feel like taking pictures of the rest of the process, but just trust me when I say that I took it through 8k, and then I gave it some attention on my Chinese 12k. The finishing touches were a few strokes on my CrOx paddle, and after that it was back to splitting hairs, sans the tip that bit me!

I’d like to take a moment and talk about one supplier I recently ordered from.   Here is the link to Phil’s website.

http://www.bullgooseshaving.net/

Phil has many great items in his webstore.  You won’t find those high ticket items but what you will find is a variety of great quality items.  He carries quite a few shaving soaps and creams as well as aftershave lotions and balms as well as a couple of splashes.   He also carries brushes and other accessories.

Razors as well as those necessary blades.   If you don’t know what type of blade you want or need then check out his link for his sampler back.  He has a couple to choose from.   But if you already know your blade he carries several brands and you can buy a small quantity or you can do what I did and that’s stock up on a box of 100.

He’s covered the basics and has quite a chose to pick from !!!

Did I forget to mention Phil has great prices as well.   He doesn’t overcharge for shipping which is always appreciated.   And you can look for a great sample or two in your box when it arrives.   He has excellent communication and he’s everything you could ever want in a seller.

He might not be the biggest seller on the net but he certainly has great prices and many great items to choose from.  And you never know when he’s going to add something new to his web store so check it out every so often.

I highly recommend this seller and hope you can do the same to your shaving buddies.
