A healthy skepticism of both old and new ideas is essential to learning.

Thanked: 17Victor how many blades do you accidentally ruin while grinding, I mean the thickness in the belly is so thin, and I assume your are primarily just relying on your "feel" while grinding, you have to grind through on a bunch.

Actually not that many, but I did go too thin on three in a row a little while back. The bummer is that the razor is very close to done when it happens. All three of those were perfect and I was just cleaning up the grinds with finer grits when all of a sudden they were trash.
I would say that I rely on a combination of math and technique more than feel, but I guess the feel part is establishing a groove close to where it needs to be, moving it to where it really needs to be, and then staying in it.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, I don't remember if we talked about that before.Last edited by bluesman7; 05-09-2020 at 03:03 PM.

Do you ever maker heavier grinds ? I am finding out that I like a blade less than full hollow
