Happy to talk through it in PM, Which, to be honest, is probably better than a video. There are a lot of honing videos on YT, and only so much you can learn watching someone else do it.

I'm learning how to hone, it would be helpful if you ever video your process

First honing session of 2026. Took this Tanifuji to a small, buttery vintage coticule. Began with a milky slurry and finished with whisper light strokes on water. HHT off the stone was solid, after stropping on linen, superb!

I like sticks because they are easy to use. Being a face latherer, I appreciate that I don't even have to load the brush. I simply rub the stick on my wet face and then build the lather, no bowl needed. I have even made my own stick shaves by...

I find the form convenient for travelling, but I much prefer pucks (I am a face latherer, but I like loading the brush first). However, there is one soap that will never not be in my den: I have also made sticks for travelling, or for holding...
