I tell you what, I am looking forward to Jarrod's videos on his trip to Their Issard factory. I like this format with the hone after the save and commentary. Very informative with your process. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Martin. More than once, I considered using these small razors only for downward strokes under the nose. Of course even a very big shaver can accomplish much ATG in that area.
Thanks Greg. 😀 I still would like to have an Heirloom Strop from Tony Miller down in that State we love. They are just plain cool. I might try to sell flavored ice to eskimos. I’d probably would go for Cherry and Orange, and avoid Lemon for a specific reason. Then again, I do remember Jethro Bodine of Beverly Hillbillies fame making “Snow Ice Cream” in one episode, so I’m not sure of my likelyhood of seeking my fortune in that enterprise. 😎
Tony is a great guy. I contacted him about making a custom travel strop for me, and during that conversation asked about getting a piece of material for a bench strop. He's very careful with his choice of leather and the quality of his work is exceptional. I only have two hanging strops that I use for shaving; a Kanoyama and an Heirloom.
@@greggallant5058 I had gotten some horse hide from Tony in the past. At one point I think he had a source just a bit north in the Amish Country. He said he uses this stuff and gave me the info. Can’t beat the pricing. Works great. Leather cutting is a bit difficult. www.thetanneryrow.com/all-leather/horween-chromexcel-strips-leather
I do find shaving the same way that you do with the long strokes rather than short ones I get way way less irritation…. And I learned this from watching you 👍👍 Thanks Bill
Thank you. When I started open blade shaving, I found most errors were in “set down”. That more than anything prompted me to follow that style. The first time I saw a vid of someone “blade buffing” with a straight, I thought it to be very risky. I do it occasionally now and think it easier than ‘short choppy strokes.
Thanks for tuning in. It does take a little time to learn. Many find it worth it. Many find razor maintenance too much. Here is the video I did not too long ago for those who may want to consider giving it a shot without the worrying about the complexities on edge maintenance. ruclips.net/video/-3pt2q9QLYE/видео.htmlsi=OtZ_-wrLymB78-d7

Thanks for watching and the kind words. 😀
Nice one Bill.
Thank you Johan.
Great shave bill! Looking good my friend
Thx Sean. Hope you had a great weekend.
Hi Bill. Nice 👍 Sometimes I also use 2 hands when I strop on my bench strop. Have a good rest of your weekend
Thanks. I think I get better contact control with 2 hands.
Wonderful expression Bill " devil's spit " it certainly is shaving you well ! That little 4/8 is great but I find a tricky size . Great shave 👌

Selling ice to Eskimos is like selling strops to Bill M. Nice to see your whole process, and great work!
Thanks Greg. 😀

Amazing skill if I tried those, I would look like a victim of Sweeney Todd😂 love stirling products and love de shaving. That’s amazing to watch.
