Thank you Gentlemen!
Well, no, I'm not holding the phone for that long...but I am just getting into another wedge. My first was sold to me by a near perfect honemeister, and I've simply kept the edge alive since, by rotating out to DEs, SEs, Injectors, and other str8s, in fear of losing the fine work he did on the edge of this blade for me. (Which, btw, was a "Real Tally-Ho"), so, you understand my trepidation for potential disaster to this blade. So, I bought myself another wedge, finally, a cheapy...@ $45 from eBay from a guy that does lots of blades. He said shave-ready, it was about ready to shave a porcupine into a gerbil, that's about it. So, I had to work on it. Taped honing, and today was the pasted stropping. When I finished the stropping, and cleaned it, stropped linen then leather, I was ready to shave again - - now, so was this wedge. I checked on the forums for any clues, and tidbits - coming across this one...so I read through- - then saw the 45degrees...and it clearly, was unclear to me, what was being written. But confidently, yes, that's exactly the angle of attack I hold my razor to stone for honing anyway. All is good. Thanks again fellas!
