Thread: Hart 2.0

Hart Razor, Repolished to Satin and Rescaled in Gold G10 with a Black n Gold acrylic wedge... Dumped the Screw and went with conventional brass pins with triple stacked washers..
Just a little jazz added to the wedge end design







Honing = Naniwa SS 1-3-5-8-10-12... two layers of tape from start to finish and no issues that way...

Thanks for looking

Glen that is a beauty! Does the 3k/100 help you get a better edge? Just curious about the 3, 5, 8 10, 12 combo.

Smooth! The satin finish is spectacular and The Jazz at the wedge is a nice touch.

An appropriately jazzed wedge for sure.
Nice work, as always sir.

To my OCD brain it does

I doubt it is much different honestly but taking the smaller steps does mean that I just never miss, I use this combo on any finicky razors razors that tend toward being harsh or chippy and it just makes it so straight forward.. Just so long as you do you part the hones will sure do theirs..

ie: I like the results, does anything else really matter

Very nice! Just a few subtle changes made such a difference!

What an amazing difference. I love my Hart 6/8 round point, but I think that I would enjoy it even more with that beautiful satin finish and scales.

I really like the way that you've described how you feel about how it works 'For you'.

I'm really 'Anal' about being meticulous about ensuring that any and all residue from a previous grit has been removed. I use running water and a scrub brush on the hone and he stone holder. I can't bring myself to just 'swish' the hone or holder in some water and have another go with a higher grit stone.

I 'think' that this helps with my edges, I just can't document it.

That's a good looking razor Glen. That detail at the wedge just makes it standout. Kind of a butterscotch look to the scales - I like that.

Excellent work as usual. I have fought HAD like it was the plague and yet my collection of stones just keeps growing. What I have found is that some razors just say, do it this way and it will work out better. Most of my experience with this is at the lower grit levels but it does make a difference. If it's an actual physical thing or just a confidence thing does not matter. If it feels good , do it.
