New blade

Just got this beauty on ebay for $26!! Crazy. A 1966  Soligen 6/8 blade that's shoulder less with some work done on the heels Underside jumps and a half hollow. Pretty much all my favorites; plus the scales say Pax as well as the pins are solid. We'll see how it shave tomorrow but I'm betting on good!

Been honing ALOT, just not posting a lot. did a lot of one stone no slurry honing and found it worked pretty well with coticules but not J Nats. Still haven't Mastered the Escher by a long shot but I'm coming up with some pretty keen edges pretty consistently.

THe Jnats seems the most consistent and easy to use and the uchigumori is almost always a winner finisher. Morgans' Asagi the same way.
Can't wait to shave tomorrow!


SHAVE REPORT: AWESOME! NOT ONLY IS IT A GREAT SHAVER BUT THE EDGE WAS EXCELLENT. NOT PERFECT BUT DAMN NEAR. SELLER SAID HE FINISHED ON A THURINGIAN  AND IT FEELS THAT WAY. I WILL PUT A FEW STROKES IN ON MY ESCHER AND SEE HOW IT GOES TOMORROW. LOVE THIS BLADE THOUGH!
