At the good graces of one Scott
@DaltonGang a very nice piece from his collection made its way for a field trip in South Central PA. just in time for a rare evening shave.
Stirling software and some brush and bowl I like to use.
Star of the show - A Beautifully restored Lakeside Cutlery, Army and Navy razor. Im told it was finished with Welsh Slate Stones, and finally an Eschers Thuringian. I was anxious to try.
My natural inquisitive natural had me check it out under a glass when I cleaned the oil off. I observed a smooth almost frosty look on bevel that I’ve read to be desirable. There were no sign of scratches, where I usually leaves some. I gave it my test with the foam packing peanut.....uh... very nice. Now I really couldn’t wait to give it a whirl.
I can not say that I’ve had a better straight razor shave. Very sharp. Very smooth. Results that exceeded my current abilities. I would have to say the performance was at least tied at the top of straight edges I have used or tested.
No one would be disappointed to own or shave with a piece like this.
No one would be disappointed with learning to hone as this piece has been done.
A big thanks to Scott for sharing.
Bill
