1st grind and hone
I bought this in a lot purchas on the bay. I didnt know i had a 1/16 of an inch split an inch from the heel. (Forgot to take before pics) So ground a 1/16 of an inch off the blade and rehoned it. It cuts leg hair like a champ, gonna test shave it tomorrow.

Grinding off part of the blade is a job. I will prob make sure i pay more attention to the razors im buying for now on :)

UPDATE: it shaves like crap :( The cheeks got a good cut but my neck needs another go with one of my sharp razors[ or since its saturday rock the lazy beard :)] I have a question: i had to use two peices of tape to get it as sharp as it is, should i keep trying using two peices or should i move up to three?

I say drop down to one piece of tape. If I am not mistaken, you add more layers of tape to wedge type grinds, hollows only require 1 or none.
edit - not to mention, you took of 1/16th of the blade width without adjusting the thickness of the spine. adding tape is probably just exacerbating (sp?) the slightly out of wack angles you may have.

i just put one piece of tape on it and dropped back to 8k, then to 12k. Its super sharp now. Thanks for your help

no problem, glad it worked for you.
p.s. I really like the point on that razor.
