Welcome to the end of a Wednesday! My (mostly) day off and I made the most of it. Lazy day with the wife walking in the woods and just taking it easy. So easy, in fact, that I decided I'd just push the shave for today off to Thursday. Why not, right? Why do tonight what I can do tomorrow? Hope you all had a great day and here's to a busy and productive Thursday!!!
The estrogen units in aisle 12 probably still need the products sold on aisle 12. Its aisle 13 Myles needs to stay clear of.
Myles, You be you. Keep rocking the Shulton...or (as much as it pains me to say) even the Clubman. We joke, we tease, we cajole, we enable, but most importantly we know that you will be the best you and everyone here cares about that.
You are correct in ascertaining the root of my hesitation--honing. I've tried several times to hone knives and they almost always leave the session worse than when I started. I fully intend to get a kamisori or straight razor at some point in my life, but only when I have the time to learn how to refresh a blade without destroying it. I'm a bit like Paul @Paul Turner with his photos--it'd be helpful to have someone staring over my shoulder to say, "Stop! No, like this!" before I wreck anything too badly.
Awesome shave, Evan! Glad to see you're dialing the DX in. Straights definitely seem like a smoother customer, and I'll learn 'em one day
