so my norton 4000/8000 arrived yesterday and today i thought i would attempt to hone that wapi thats been in the cupboard since june
so i drew the grid in pencil on both sides of the norton and soaked it for 30 mins,then lapped it on a sheet of glass 10"x6" with 600 grit wet&dry
as advised by puff,then soaked it for an hour.
then taking my time did the pryamid that steelforge posted
15/15
10/10
5/5
1/5
1/3
1/3
then chased the dog around the garden so i could try the HHT
but couldnt catch him, so done the thumb test,didnt feel quite right
so i did 10 more on the 8000,then 50 laps on linen and 100 laps on leather then into the bathroom, hot soak,prosaro pre shave & lather,then shaved the wapi went straight through my whiskers no nicks or sore face!
so just for tonight i,m a hone god but in the cold light of day i know that either the wapi is a damn good razor to learn with
or i got lucky,but hey it still feels good
