This was a test shave of an edge created with my Black Shadow stone on my other Puma 89. In yesterday’s hone (of Puma #2) the feel of the Escher stone reminded me of the Black Shadow, so today I explored the similarities of honing feel and of shave feel. This edge was a bit keener than yesterday’s but both shaves were extremely comfortable.
