I have a blind experiment lined up for Straightember: I've sent @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social two identical razors. They were only distinguishable by marks I've made on the tail. He has honed one on jnats and one on synths and I don't know which is which.

I'll be trying both extensively over Straightember and hopefully develop a preference. Then pudding will reveal which it is.

You’ve mentioned it before and I’m looking forward to your impressions. Should make for interesting discussion.
