Solingen made it back today, by the way.. I'll try it out tonight. With it back, I've got one I can use again if I goober something up.
I admit, I've been lazy the last couple days and haven't touched the other Wapi...
Check with someone in Europe to look at your hone.
LX_Emergency comes to mind. It would be faster.
Lacking that then I would volunteer also.
Mailing to LX would have to go to the States through military mail, then back to Europe. It's actually faster and a lot cheaper to keep it in the US postal system.
Thanks for the thought, though - if I was using local mail it probably *would* be a lot faster...
If you're not getting the same results along the full length of a razor, something's wrong with the steel. It sounds like it wasn't tempered correctly. This is not a stone problem, it's a razor problem. Honing is a progressive process. You start with coarser stones and move to finer and finer stones and then strop. If you do that and you're not getting predictable results, there is another variable and I'm betting it's the steel and/or it's heat treating.
It is very doubtful that it is either the steel or heat treatment. Those are/were both very uniform in the factories.
