Gotta say, I've been struggling latley getting good hht from the stone.
I have achieved good hht but it tends to be hit and miss off the coticule, ah well I shall keep practicing.
Any way tonight with my HHT 1 ti, I give it 10 laps on hanging pasted strop (ti rasoir).
Wow. Get me a killer shave, truly bbs after 3 passes and no irritattion.
I know it seems like succumbing to the dark side, but I think it's wise to remember it's all about the shave and there is no shame in finishing on the strop.
One day maybe I will be getting these shaves straight from the hone, maybe if Gary can be grascious host when I can get to Notts - he can give me a few pointers. In the mean time I am ordering another layer from Ardiness to try.
What are your experiences honing? are there many paste finishers out there?
