SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 2021
This morning’s shave featured what was originally a razor shaped object (RSO) that my son retempered and oil quenched in his forge. The bevel was reset and then polished on a Shapton progression to 30k and rescaled in Koa Wood. The resulting three pass mug shave was excellent. The question remains as to how long the edge will hold. We’ll see, but thus far, me likee! The two pass ATG dome shave with my Valet Autostrop VC4 easily swept the noggin stubble away. Another great shave to remember. I feel clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth.
