Thread: A few hesitant questions

Welcome mrmessma to SRP: You're making fantastic progress. It's nice to see new members read and learn on their own. So many folks just post on the forum without taking the time to research. Just a couple of questions. Did you add a piece of electrical tape to the spine of your razor? Is your razor cutting arm hair easily on your bevel setting stone. Don't move to the next stone in your progression until your easily shaving arm hair off your 1K grit stone.

Once you can easily cut arm hair off all sections of your edge, it's just a matter of polishing out the scratch marks as you go down your stone progression. If you started off with one piece of electrical type on the spine add two more when you get to your highest grit stone. Adding two extra layers of type is the method used by custom knife and razor artisan Tim Zowada. http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...edge-tape.html
