    I put the razors in the mail today. Questionable steel on the way to Florida, Louisiana, and British Columbia. Should be an interesting experiment. I am somewhat comforted by the fact these razors are Japanese and not from the land of the Tiger and Flying Chicken.

    Saturday

    Today's razor is a PRC Chimera fresh off a Zulu Grey. The last try to touch up this razor on the Zulu was a complete failure. So I reset the bevel on my set of Naniwa stones and then finished on the Zulu. I then stropped it on CrOx and then 100,000 grit diamond spray.

    Tabac did what it always does plenty of wet slick lather so things were looking good. This time the edge is allot better than the prior fail, the edge is not rough but also not as smooth as usual and the edge is just sharp enough to be acceptable for the ATG pass. One tiny weeper that I think was a pimple and just a tickle from the alum, closeness? Acceptable. I will touch this stone up on a Shapton 16k, maybe this razor and the Zulu just do not get along.
