• Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic

Wow, color me impressed! I figured after using some good, professional edges for the past ~week, coming back to my edge, which does NOT pass the packing peanut test, would be horrible. It wasn’t horrible! In fact, the results are quite possibly the best so far!

This edge, as a reminder, is only two steps (similar to what Koraat does, apparently). 600 to set the bevel, and straight to 10,000. Lots of work at 10,000, of course, but still.

My Shaving Data System (SDS) is finally ready for the big leagues, and I mean it this time! I’ve been “finished” building it for days and days now, but I kept learning new things, coming up with new tricks, and making it so much better.

I think the only real bug now is the problem with mobile browsers (on Android at least) not letting you search through your stuff. So, scrolling it is for now.

I still have a little bit of work to do on the wiki, but here is the project gitlab.com/walden_/shaving-data-system
