    Thanks. I guess I've done it right. Now I get the sharpness and smoothness I wanted. The only issue was that S30K could not cut stainless steel efficiently. Stropping on diamonds bridged the gap. Never imagined that.

    But still, I don't quite like the half hollow ground. I'll probably continue to shave with it to see if it hold the edge well and whether it micro chips. Or maybe I should just dry it and put it into the box and pick up the Clauss.

    My vote is for the Clauss. I like a challenge as much as the next guy but give yourself a chance to succeed...so to speak. Even if you get that thing shave ready it is still is not as good as the Clauss.

    I've just pulled it out form the box. I cannot find much details about it. The brand reads

    Clauss
    FREMONT.O.U.S.A


    It looks like produced in Freemont Ohio, but nothing about model number etc. I'm wondering if anyone can identify it.

    I never looked that deep into Clauss. But I'll say this. That's a nice one, and now you have a good razor that will shave and hold an excellent edge.

    He already has that Clauss. I think some better pics would show more but that thing looks pretty clean to me. I don't see buff.rounding at all on that one. Regardless, it is what it is and he has it for good or bad.
