Loved your comments while on the stone! I agree with everything you said; especially with getting mesmerized by the feel, and turning a quick process into a very long one 🙂
Totally agree 👍 I can't stand lengthy honing . You loose me on jnats talk 😅 but I listen in envy at your knowledge Eric ! Wonderful artistic work on that gold dollor. ✨️
@@Martins-Shaves123 I bet, it’s hot ad hell here in Louisiana, but we are blessed with 80-100% humidity. I would not know how to act in that dry Moroccan heat.
I've been watching for a while, never noticed how new the channel was. Kinda figured you were in the game a while, couple years, 10k subs, maybe... What I'm getting at is, you're doing as good a job on the videos as you are the razors. I'm a total newb to this, I come from the knife world, where I'm kind of a novice, too, honestly. I've yet to buy my first razor, but I've already learned a lot from you. Anyway... New subscriber.
Nice video Cajun! I think there are definitely a lot less junk cotitules out there than jnats. Although I think it is easier getting a razor grade jnat than coticule (but that might be the same as arguing who makes the best soda) Also looking for another coticule or 2 for the collection. Looking for a larger stone and then a LPB or another interesting mine. I probablu won't add anything else on the jnat side though. If I do would probably be a 6x2 travel stone. I also enjoy a koma and tomo after a 8/10k synthetic. I think for anyone out there without a koma, doing a couple tomo sessions also works.
Thanks. I travel for work, I have found that 3x5ish size is perfect for a travel size Jnat. With a Coti, 1.5x6 can be a very affordable travel option, or a nice barber hone size 2x4. Thanks for watching, and looking forward to your next one.
With the spine work I did. I have honed this razor a couple times with no tape to slowly and passively touch up geometry. This last honing my bevel was perfect on both sides. Very even and straight. I did not want to tape and mask an issue. I plan to give them one away and don’t want to pass on an issue. My plan is to go back to one layer of tape on the next honing. I find that all Gold Dollars (of Monkeys) shave better with one layer of super 88. That’s the plan moving forward.
Nice work on that GoDallah. Both decorating and sharpening. Nice explanations on the use of Jnats. The number 200 winner should be very pleased.
My next one will be on my newly convexed slate.
I really enjoyed this one. For me, it's one of your best ones yet. Very informative. Please keep this format going
Thanks, will do! I do enjoy that format as well. Appreciate the kind words

Yep, sometimes I tend to go a little longer than needed. As long as I’m enjoying it, I promise not to complain 🤣.

Glad you enjoyed it. If there is anything you ever want to see let me know. Requests help drive ideas for content. Glad you enjoy the channel

Eric always dropping amazing videos! Thank you for this demo my friend. Take care
Thanks, you too!
I have not seen the packing peanut test before. Why no tape on the spine this time?
