Oh alright. Maybe I haven't cured my HAD, but it's definitely on sabbatical at the moment.

Anyway, used it yesterday on two Dorkos. My oh my! So told me it was a very fine stone, and quite fast too. I got the edges to a happy place on the Shapton 16K and then moved on to this stone.

Test shave - well, the first few strokes were amazing. But unfortunately I think I may have overhoned, 'cause after one side of the face was done the edge went dull on me. Take two tomorrow, being a bit more careful this time.

James.
