Thanked: 1Thank you for the friendly offer to hone for me. Is it possible that having it honed would just trigger discontent? Here is where I was able to get it. I was able to get it cutting hair 1/2 inch away from the skin. I also managed to get thicker hairs to split down the side like whittling a stick. My current challenge is getting that performance along the entire blade. It's not that sharp in all spots. Any advice would be appreciated. But at the moment I'm pretty happy with the shave I'm getting. Totally afraid that if I experience a truly shave ready razor, I might become spoiled on it, destroying my current state of self satisfaction.
Oh I made a strop out of old denim jeans. I haven't seen much discussion on this forum about using denim. It's doing something but I can only guess that leather would be better. If anyone sees a discussion where someone has tested them both I'd like to read it.
PS
"sharp" to me is passing the leaf on water test. I challenge any of the pros here to post a video of one of their razors passing that test.Last edited by Steve1150; 05-05-2016 at 02:12 AM.
