A characteristically fine shave with this Filly Hot water preparation Argan Oil PSO Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Badger T&H Grafton Shaving Cream Filarmonica 13 Novodur 6/8 Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Happy shaving - Karl
First shave with an American made straight razor. Torrey 'our 136.' upon finishing, I immediately bought another.
BBW for the bevel set, BBW for the mid range, the coticule it's sitting on for the pre-finisher, and a la veinette coticule for the finisher. I'm probably going to have to do it all over again soon. Missed a pit when I was louping the edge. Doesn't seem to affect the edge, but it will sooner or later.
I would leave it. It might take a long while before the pit works its way to the very edge. Besides, it is almost the entire width of the bevel. Just keep an eye on it after a few stropping sessions. Also, there is some more pitting waiting right behind that one, and it looks like it is worse. Sometimes less is more. .

That kind of pitting can be deceptive. I've dealt with pitting like this, and it can run deep. That is one reason I would leave it as is.

Scott’s loving on his Riga inspired me to bring out mine. @Keithmax suggested it to me in a PM discussing artisan razors some years ago.
