Thanks, that will be useful to know if I ever find myself in the same situation. I probably would not have guessed a dremel was capable.

Nice work, Bruno

you call it shorty right now, don' t you?

nice idea !

I spent 2 hours taking out a tiny nick that was only half the bevel deep.
This steel was HARD!

As soon as the bevels were set some more honing on the 4K and 8K, followed by the coticule with a very light slurry, and then the coticule with only water.
For the actual honing itself I used only the weight of the razor.

Well,... If I hadn't made this one on commission, I would have kept it.
This is by a wide margin the sharpest razor I've ever handled.
Even my notoriously hard chin hairs went down without a fight.

It is almost as sharp as a feather blade, but much smoother.
I used my hugo boss alcohol based AS, and it was perfectly cool. Not a single sting. A perfect edge for a perfect shave

very nice recovery there! I love seeing a beauty like that being swiped from the junk heap to make a fine tool.

The blade is so polished that water cannot cling to it.

When I rinsed it off after the shave, it was completely dry. I tried a couple of times, but I could not get the blade to stay wet.
