A few days ago I was starting the resto on a nice Wade and Butcher blade and had no plans for the scales. Doc (Alfredo) offered to buy them off me, but possessing a scheming mind I had a better idea. I asked him to evaluate an edge I honed and let me try one of his very well respected Jnat edges. I had never shaved with a Jnat edge and wanted to round myself out a bit as a straight shaver. Alfredo checked out my edge and even sent me 800X images. Then he returned my Hart with a fantastic edge on it. It was definitely a step higher than mine on the keenness scale while still delivering a smooth shave without that harsh hungry for blood feel I associate with sprays, pastes etc. I want to publicly thank him for his time and skill and helping hand in helping me to learn more about this fantastic hobby/passion.
