Hey everyone,
As I've posted recently, I've been working on setting a bevel on a vintage ja henckles using a Norton 1k. After many days and hours, I feel I finally got a feel for it. Started with circles/x stroke sets and then decided to stick with x strokes only. Did 140 x stroke laps in sets of ten starting with firm pressure and gradually easing up to no pressure and got the razor to shave off leg hair quite easily, so I figured I had the bevel was finally set and moved on to pyramid honing.
I did 25 on the Norton 4K/8k, dropped to 20/20, then 15/15, 10/10, 5/5, 3/3, 1/3, 1/5. I'm not sure if it's shave ready or not but it won't cut cut the tops off leg hair, it Only cuts if I run it along the skin like it did after the bevel was set. It also failed the hanging hair test. If it turns out to not be in shave ready condition, how should I go about continuing the honing to make it complete?
Thanks!
