    After yesterday’s success, I moved on to a TI that was virtually new but had uneven hone wear, as I bought it from a guy who said he could “never get it sharp”. It took some time and some stoke variations to get things in order, but by the time I was done, it tree topped every hair it touched. Didn’t shave with it, but I’m confident it’s ridiculously sharp.

    Moved on to a much tougher challenge - an old W&B that I restored and had a friend put some rustic scales on. This one had a blunt edge and really wonky geometry. It took a while, and in retrospect, I think I spent a bit too long on the coarser stones before moving up the progression, but a lot of rolling x strokes and patience yielded a nice shave ready edge that produced a nice Father’s Day shave. I’m finally starting to feel confident on the stones.
