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.

Yeah, and it lasts 5 days.

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!

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!

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.
