Two Pass Shaving Routine...

Hot Water prep & massage with Argan Oil
Japanese Hamilton 6/8th ( Freshly Honed )
VP Leon Hardy Pure Badger
LEA Tallow Soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I Had an Awesome Shave Today with My Freshly Honed Japanese Hamilton 6/8th..I was Never Quite Happy with the Wickedness of this Blade from the Vendor I Got it from..It was Shave Ready but Far too Yang in My Books..I Took it back to the Bevel Hone & Started Again as it Clearly had been Honed on some Sort of Natural Stones due the Scratches Under the Micro Lens..

Talking of Far Too Yang..I Have been a Serious Internal Martial Arts Student & Teacher for Many Years Now...The Tai Ji or Yin & Yang Diagram above Represents the Chinese Theory & Practice of Universal Natural Forces...What Most People Don't Realize is What those 2 Dots Represent in the Yin & Yang Symbol..

Those 2 Dots Represent a Dot of Yin within the Yang & a Dot of Yang within the Yin..Even When I am Striking a Fatal Blow in Marital Arts there Must be a Dot of Yin within the Yang Strike...Conversely there is a Dot of Yang within the Yin when Neutralizing an Attack..These are the Hidden Secret if there is One in Internal Chinese Gung Fu Systems..The Twist for Me of Course is that Someone can be Destroyed by Harmonious Forces..

I Apply My Gung Fu Knowledge & Understanding of Yin & Yang when I Hone My SRs..This Blade was Too Yang before I Honed it..The Blade Now has a Dot of Yin within the Yang as Represented in the Tai Ji Diagram...In Other Words.. There is a Dot of Softness Within the Hardness & this Edge..Its a Far More Comfortable & Forgiving Edge than before I Honed it..Paradoxically it Even Feels Sharper..There is a Harmonious Balance of Yin & Yang Forces..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

Billy
