Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Semogue SOC BigBoar
Hayashi Diamond 74 .. 13/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 50 Linen/200 Leather .. I just can't stop!
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Spanish Floïd Suave
This H. Diamond 74 has been around for some time. It's NOS, and the original plan was for Pro honing as a benchmark to judge my efforts against, but I have a new addition on the way that will fill that niche, so I did this one myself.
As soon as this steel hit the stone, I became aware that I was dealing with a different animal. The "clink" of the spine on the stone, and the way the steel felt on the hone told me that this was a hard piece of steel. It also needed many more laps to accomplish the same results.
I had entered a new dimension...
A dimension not only of sight and sound... but of mind,
A journey into a wondrous land who's boundaries are that of imagination,
Your next stop... The Honing Zone
