    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.

    The pitting behind the bevel? It's not worse. It's quite shallow.

    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.

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Musgo Real Shave Soap
    Heldtite Synthetic
    Weck Sextoblade
    Personna Hair Cutter Blade
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated AS

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Heldtite Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Weck Sextoblade and a Personna Hair Cutter Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Nice. That's the Big Brother to mine. I would like to see if they could do a full hollow one day.
