Thread: No clue, no microscope, first honing, shave test average

Microscope will be great idea Jimmy is right.
Please check the edge if you just used 200 laps on Coticle it will not sharpen the edge.You have to set the bevel with lower grit hones or use your lovely DMT'S .YOU DO have to set bevel first.I assume dmt's already brake in .
1 st use
dmt 1200 grit extra fine 50 laps
belgian blue side 50 laps
dmt 8000 grit EE FINE 80 laps no pressure please
go to coticle belgian 50 laps
chro02 strop 30-50 laps
strop and check the blade
Now laps shouldn't be exact numbers just check edge regualarly with your finger touch or hht ok.let us know result.
Be patient and don't hurry up you will get there.
