Thread: shave guidance

Matt,

I'd be willing to take a look at your razor and fix it--no charge. I have a feeling it may need some work by now. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks alot Josh

I sent ya a pm.

OK, folks, we now know at least part of the reason why Matt has been suffering so. His razor arrived today, and it was in need of some TLC.

The original hone job appeared to be decent, as the bevel had a mirror polish on it. But there were several dings, and sections of the fin looked like they'd bent over a bit. I cringed when I thought about shaving with it...

We started with some sandpaper and work on the 1K, then a little work on the 4/8K and a finish on my magic barber hone. It's slicing hairs pretty neatly now, so we'll see how the test shave goes tomorrow.

Matt, we'll get you fixed up yet.

Sounds interesting. I am not sure how I could have screwed an edge up that bad in 4 shaves though. Im excited to see how it turns out when I get it back.
