Proofs in the pudding shave! Good luck! You'll know for certain by both the smoothness of the blade edge as it cuts and the feel of your skin afterwards. No tugginess, no tender spots and no razor rash.
I'll try it again tomorrow morning and I'll be sure to post my results. Have I told you guys lately that straight razors are fun?
Honing is like golf.... I use special scoring system when I golf, +1 for every ball I loose and -1 for every ball I find.

I do like the shoulders on it. I'm able to get a nice grip on it and it has jimps on the top and on the bottom.
