For you Bill, broke back coticules tonight.
Those are beautiful!
Today ia a Jant kinda day. Now to decide which way to go.
Jant is a type of Japanese stone? I don’t straight shave so I know little about it.
Yea Jnat = Japanese Natural stone.
Nothing special, just another natural razor hone, they fun, give a decent edge.

How do you feel Arkansas edges compare to Jnat and Coticules?
More fun with Oozuku. My Sheffields sure love Jnats. I am going to miss this one, going to a good friend. Always glad to help but hate to see them go.
Busy day today. Got the house, the son's house, the daughter's house, and dad's house ready for the Arctic front next week. They predicting 6" snow, in 52 years I seen snow in South Louisiana 3 or 4 times, but we ready. I had a goal for this time home. Hone on some of the of stones I never get into, and get this pile of eBay razors finally cleaned up and honed. The struggle continues.

Great honing on my old Lyn Idwal. The save was a 2 pass BBS. I can't ask for better. Gentleman's Gin is quickly becoming my favorite
I need that razor holder,
I will see if I can hook you up
The shave off the Okudu Suita was delicious. The Top Flight performed well, it was keen but very gentle. I have a belly full of this cold weather. This Shave was a blast of summer time.

Nice honing and shave these evening. After a couple of crazy weeks, the snow storm and the work that followed, and a week of work meetings and training, I am back on the ship and back to normal. I hate to say I am glad to be back at work but it don't break my heart

I know what you mean. Shipboard life has a rhythm all its own. Though everyone is working hard, you are doing it together for a shared purpose. I grew up around ships and maritime industries. When I was part of a ship’s s crew it felt like I belonged there.
The last couple honings finished on my travel Translucent. Today it was from an coticule.
