An especially pleasing shave.

The Riga had a bit of a bite to it so I took out the loupe to look at it. What? A chip and some pitting showed up in the middle of the edge. I have only taken a razor to the hones for anything other than touch ups once before. But, with a combination of film and my stones, I was able to take out the chip and pitting. With a Thuringian finish it’s back to it’s original super smooth and effortless shave quality.

I know my RigaRazor loves the Escher Thuringian stone. What do you think caused the chippy edge? Did you tape the spine?

 

Yup, taped the spine. One layer.

I had assumed I must have been careless handling it sometime and nicked the edge but the shallow pitting behind the nick has me wondering if it was a defect. I always put a light coat of oil on the edge after each shave as protection against corrosion so the defect theory is the best I’ve got at the moment.

 

All right shave den crew , I had my first successful shave with my freshly honed catty green lizard from @gssixgun. No blood was spilled , and after finding the right angle it was a stellar experience. I just did my cheeks to my jaw and my side burns for now. @gssixgun thank you for taking care of me on the catty, excellent work!! @PLANofMAN & @DaltonGang thank you guys for the constant support and guidance. Not sure if it weren't for you 3 guys that I would of been this successful or enjoyed it this much.

Which steel is it? They used both Böhler steel, and tungsten steel, at least a few years ago.

 

I don't know. I do know mine is a new one, of just a month, or two ago. I don't know when they made the switch.

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse

Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
Luxor Pro Master
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Luxor Pro Master and a Half Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed..
