    Bruno did you tape to hone it? & if so how many layers did you end up using to keep the bevel so small?
    Saved,

    Nicely done.
    Just a question on custom razors. Late 1800's, early 1900's have you read anything about the demand for handmade 'custom' razors??? Or is this new to str8 shaving??

    Just 1 layer of tape. During polishing I took a lot of care to polish near the edge but not the very edge itself.
    The bevel was already fairly small to begin with, and the additional polishing (80, 120, 180, 240, 600) made it even smaller.
