A refreshed razor...

Just tried my Chinese 12k and touched up my blade with 20 laps, stropped on leather 100 laps, and proceeded to get the best shave I have had in weeks. Man this is fun! Btw, I did lap the stone first with a DMT 325. I am pretty much self-sufficient now and man does it feel good!

I couldn't agree more.
It's been one more small gain in my battle to throw off the shackles of mass marketing and consumerism...

now if I could just get a handle on my AD's!
