Everything was dandy on the first attempt until it wasn’t, the blade before the hollow starts tapering towards the spine is like .005”, I got a little thinner back towards the heel and about a 1/4 the way from the edge towards the spine and it warped. Learned a new term though, apparently it’s referred to as “oil canning”.

I did get learn a lot from that mistake though which really helped set the table for the second one. My preference is for a more hollowed blade, I would have like a 3/4 or full hollow on the second one but had to settle for a 1/2 as time did not permit the extra work, also a lot less of a chance for things to go sideways.

You really must try and make it, Jerry, the most fun I’ve had with my pants on.

Reminds me of guys jumping into honing right away as they are learning to wet shave. Why mess with quarter or half hollow? Full hollow or BUST!

:rofl2:

I was one of those guys....

I found the post from 1/14/19 where I predicted the exact sequence. https://sharprazorpalace.com/get-tog...ml#post1857715

It surely looked good to a point, John.
I kept looking and you kept grinding.

Knowing where the edge is keeps you from falling-off.
You will get it, I predict!

Then you can send ME this old practice-piece! :w

I didn’t leave good enough alone, should of listened to all you guys before I started in with the last wheel.

Dude awesome razor man. When you get things figured out I’d like to get put on the waiting list. Assuming I can afford something like that.
