PAA CK6 AS - Supreme Sandalwood
Another razor that went for honing Tuesday night. It had a very small 'blemish' (wavy distortion) in the blade edge from touching a brush handle when I set it down on my 3rd shave with it. Ouch. I waited awhile to hone it, as I wanted more honing time from my other razors, before tackling this blade. The DD is an extra full hollow (think anorexic grind, like a Feather DE blade). It literally 'pings' almost like china when touched or as it cuts. Wow....very difficult & tedious honing. Just moving it/holding it on the hone, and the blade flexes, seriously flexes. It's also a slight smile, so it can't just go up and down the hones. Doubly difficult. Have to use a Rolling X pattern, as seen in this video from
Lewis Razor -Smiling Straight Razor Honing. I only needed 16 laps on the Shapton 12k to clear the edge blemish. Looked at the blemish area with a loupe after every 2 passes. Followed with a handful of laps on the pasted stop progression, and another handful of laps on bridle leather strop. Easily passed the
@gssixgun hair topping and shaving test. I purchased this razor back in June from
@Keithmax
3 pass DFS. Not quite a DFS+ today, still learning this razor. Extremely light, very audible & flexy as it swipes. The toe is quite pointy & sharp. Requires a great amount of concentration and very little pressure to get it's business done. The PAA CK6 formula...the usual awesome slickery facial experience, easily whipped up with the
@jtspartan 2019 30DC handle and Omega 10098 knot. Another day of overloading the brush, using lots of water resulted in tons of lather, easily 4-5 passes worth. Followed with the matching PAA Supreme Sandalwood AS. No feedback. Feeling pretty smooth and smelling great for a Thursday.
Hope everyone has a Great Day!
