Still working on that big mofo of a razor, and started honing it. I wanted to be sure the steel would take an edge before I went any further.

Steel is hard as all get out. was brutal on the hones, and ended up with edge chipping.

What would be the safest procedure to send this back through the temper process now that the razor is ground down to final dimensions?

Its a high quality piece of O-1 and was tempered originally at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, cooled to room temp, and then a second time at 400 for another 30.

After this much work, I would hate to ruin it now by removing too much hardness at the edge or some other nonsense!
