I've been shaving with a straight for a few months (5 to be exact), but never started this thread. I've gotten fairly good at honing and I used both natural as synthetic stones along with various strops, pastes and sprays.
I thought I'd start out with a video. Somebody asked me to do a full Shapton Pro progression and finish on the 0.125 CBN.
Progression: 2k, 5k, 8k, 15k, 30k, 0.125 CBN on balsa, 0.125 on horse leather, horse strop.
So here's the shave. I left out stropping.
