      🤣. I have been making myself go left handed as much as I can. It’s crazy, I shoot a bow left handed, ambidextrous with a gun. But shaving left handed just did not come natural . Speaking of towels, I have started using one of those soaker towels. I have a golf towel made of that same material. It really sucks the moisture off your hands immediately. Really nice to dry the fingers when shaving. Best option I have tried so far.

    Nice vid. Glad you are back in the saddle. No surpise to me that you rebelled against my advice to shape JNat stones. Oh well, somebody has to innovate and advance with their own stuff. THE FIRST SUPERCURVE JNAT RAZOR GUY. 👍 Although I think they sharpen some knives on a convexed stone in Japan.

      Hi Bill, just look at Katana polishing, and you will see some really curved stones..

      I think JPO may have a curved Jnatx not sure. You knew as cautioned against it, I would try it 🤣🥴…..

      Sean, It does appear as if our Brother Eric has done gone and jumped the fence only to land in with that bunch known on the B&B to be “the Rabid Minority”. Unfortunately for them there will always be those who decide it is perfectly acceptable to do as they please with their own stuff. I have always been hesitant to recommend grinding away at exquisite JNats. We can easily see how far my advice goes….🤣

    I am sorry that you have been feeling poorly. I hope that you get better soon. Thanks for the info on the jnats. That finisher sure was a nice looking color. I have made several wood blocks to fix razors that have been neglected and to reshape poorly ground razors. When making all the shapes, it is much easier and cheaper to make from wood than all the stones it would take. So for the final refinements I would like to shape some stones when I get my own shaping plate. But I get what you mean about loosing the joy of working with natural stones. The stones imprint a quality that you can not get with synthetics or sandpaper. I would have a hard time getting rid of some of the Shefield razors that I have to try out Solingen. I look forward to more of your videos and hope you enjoy your hunting season. Thanks again for sharing and take care.

      Oh I am back to my old self. Just trying to play catch up. Yea, I do not judge anyone in their choice of hone. If you’re happy, I’m happy. Honing on rocks, maximizing the end result and enjoying the fruits of my labor is what has drawn me into this. It’s just my preference. I just culled thru a few old Sheffields that did not get used or were a little small for my liking. I am happy where I stand on razor assortments. Take Robert and thanks for watching.
