I was successfully able to set a bevel on my straight razor for the first time ever using this stone. For the price, this is such a great deal, because you're getting the 1000 grit side for setting the bevel, and the 3000 grit for further sharpening afterward. The stone is not as wide as a standard 3" straight razor blade, so you will need to use X strokes, but it definitely works wonders for honing the blade. I highly recommend!
Bright and young-smelling, a nice contrast with the old man/powdery barbershop smells of some of the more classic aftershaves
Love this shaver. The stubby handle makes it easy to maneuver around my moustache, and the gentleness of the shaver goes great with more aggressive blades. A great one to have in the rotation…
