Hi Yall, well i am still persevering with trying to hone and strop my blades, Today i managed to get a shave with one ( the shave was akin to using a 2-3 use bic disposable).
I used a 1-2k grit to set the bevel, i then used an india oil stone to fetch up the edge and stropped on a leather belt.
I am close to getting there but i have a razor prepped by steve at invisible edge and his edge is shiney mine is dull, i am guessing but do i need a water stone to polish the edge.
all the blades cept 1 are proper blades from first quarter 20th century.
