Thread: First attempt honing on cheap razor

I purchased a cheap enzo razor of eBay Link and a set of the king 300, 1200, 6k and 10k hones to practice honing Link

The razor sharpened up nicely and cuts even better then my freshly, professionally honed dovo however the bevel (the v), on the cheap Enzo razor is massive compared to my dovo razor....

On the enzo it would be about 1mm
On the dovo it would be less then 0.2mm

Would this be due to putting too much pressure on the spine when honing or is it just because its a cheap razor.

I have attached a photo although I don't know if you will be able to see the edge.

Ignore the scratches on the enzo, it is only a practice razor.




Thanks,
Chris
