    today I used the third of my honing class of 16.
    it's;
    KB Extra #67 4/8 spike end.
    after shaving with this razor,I think it's a half hollow grind.
    when I examined it to begin, it looked like a full hollow. but it definitely had a different feel on the face. so I'm assuming it was ground differently.
    the shave was close and comfy, but I did miss the audio feedback.
    please correct me if my assumptions are incorrect. thank you. 20160223_095557.jpg 20160223_095656.jpg

    Got an custom update pic from Tim Z. today. It officially looks like a straight razor now. The wheels of progress are indeed turning.

    Looks fantastic Mike, what scales are you going for and obviously a covered tang to match.

    today I used;
    Eaton 85 Diamond Edge 5/8 full hollow spike
    20160224_083858-1.jpg
    I broke out of the class of 16. I wanted to check my progress.
    yesterday I continued my efforts in honing by redoing the edge on my wosty. but I didn't want to use a half hollow two days in a row. so I chose the diamond edge.
    it performed wonderfully.
    thanks for following my posts.
