So far I have only honed up two of the seven blades for this razor. The Monday and Tuesday blades. This Tuesday blade gave a decent Shave I still have not experimented with my theory that I can get better results by honing them at a more acute angle. Maybe this evening if I have time, I’ll give that a go. Once I am convinced that I have gotten the best result possible out of a blade. Then I’m going to see how many comfortable shaves I can get out of it. Though I can see how the Gem and Gillette razors beat this out. Not because they were better. Just a lot less work. 
Hump Day in the books. Pressing on to the weekend.

Great determination Ken. I know you'll sort it out !

We shall see Dave. Might be unrealistic to think I can get it as sharp as say my Voskhods. But I would like to get a tad sharper. It’s close like 95% just that last 5% is the difference from a nice shave to good/great shave. 
My humble attempt at “Kaizen” in respect to honing these wedge blades. In the end I usually have embrace my “Wabi-Sabi” reality though.

Decent shave with the Wilkinson razor yesterday. 
Today we are out in dumps for what may be the last “winter” event of 22. And I have no dump to use. Jackwagon guy I work with took it out a week ago and it had some check engine lights pop up. Instead of telling me so I could try and figure out what was going on. He turned it in to the maintenance company that we contract with. So who the hell knows when it will be back. 
No big deal for him. Not his damn truck.  He’s banished from using my truck in the future.
