Hi all,
I just joined this forum today and look forward to being apart of it.
as of right now, I have one question regarding bevel setting.
im buying the Norton waterstone kit 4K/8k 220k/1000k with flattening stone and I think I have a very good idea of how to begin learning hones. (But I'll be practicing on one of my cheaper straight razors until I get the hang of it)
I recently purchased a dovo best quality that was "shave ready" but still took it to get honed. Twice. Both times there was absolutely zero improvement. It won't even cut hair off my arm. So my QUESTION: once I'm ready to sharpen this razor, how do I know if I'll need to set the bevel or not before I hone?
thanks!
