Hey, yer inbox is full... lol
My 20 on linen is mainly to dry the razor beyond the towel-dry it gets post-shave, which is why I do not linen-strop post-honing.
What sort of viscosity does that Maggards PSO have? Is it thicker, or thinner for an oil?
How do you stretch your skin with that oil on it? I tried once. My fingers slipped (even with alum) just as I was about to shave, causing my skin to hit the blade fast and un-expectantly, resulting in two lines, if I recall. The stuff got tossed immediately. Do you guys wash the oil off before actually shaving?
