First Honing gone good with question?
So I purchased a razor at an antique shop last week. No ID but one of the members thinks that it looks like a Torrey. At any rate I cleaned it up with MAAS and started to hone to set the bevel on a DMT D8E 1200 grit. There was one "divit" on the edge near the heal. I did a series of 20 laps x several. Inspected the edge with my glass,30x, and the edge was still notched. I proceeded to circulars at 20 then 40 etc. I examined the edge after each set. Finally the "divit", notch was gone. I proceeded to 10 more passes on the DMT. The razor now felt like the bevel was set. Nail test felt good, arm hair test ok etc. So I proceeded to the Norton 4k/8k. I did 5x5 (4k/8K),4x4,3x3, 2x2, 1x3,1x5. I then stropped 50x on Latigo by TM. Then to the shave test. I don't have a finer grit stone than the 8k nor any pastes. The shave test went well. Although all that was left from the morning was a bit of clean up. I think that the blade could be a bit more polished. Should I strop more, go back to the 8k, or what? I plan on doing a full shave in the am on the blade and see how it goes. I am encouraged. Thanks to all the help from you all, esp the videos 9 part series and Lynn's DVD.
