Bevel set, shave ready, shave!
Well I did it. Had six old razors which required attention and managed to reset a bevel on all of them and then honed/stropped to shave ready. (I know they're shave ready cos I've used them and they were great!)
However! Not without some head scratching and wood splinters in the fingers.
I found that ALL of them required to be taped and one of then even needed 3 layers !
I found that I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with any of them until I put some tape on.
Any comments welcome dudes cos I'm wingin it a bit here!
PS. I used Norton 4k/8k, Naniwa 10, then strop with green oxide, rough then smooth.
