Thread: Fried Hand on Coarse Tablet

Most chipped up edges I'll get by flat honing on a 1k synthetic. The naniwa super or if it is bad a shapton pro 1k which feels more aggressive to me. For worse chips I'll use my DMT 1200 and then go to the synthetic 1k to clean what the plate left. Of course for serious chips I too will go to a 600 plate or even my 325 lapping plate. OTOH, anymore I'd pass on a razor with a chip like that.

I too think the OP was using too much pressure. Firm pressure is applicable in bevel correction some of the time IME but from the sound of the physical consequences it was too much of a good thing.

Axel,

Words of wisdom from all the replies you've had here. You don't need to use much pressure. Let the stone do the work for you.

The edge isn't rolled over, the tip may still be in need (at the very tip) and I made the progress. I didn't get the numbness on the unorthodox other hand's finger, just the hand holding the shank. Also, I was using a twisting action to increase the wear on the edge. But seriously, it takes a LOT to roll the edge on this thing. It's crazy. I was using the DMT D8C, as some of you already guessed. I have a Norton 220/1000, but it is seriously slow going on other razors with the Norton 1000. Maybe I'm a lightweight?

I'll give the 220 a shot. It's just this razor is very stubborn. I only intended to use the D8C as a lapper (Norton flattening stone needs.. flattening ).

I just have sensory overload. At least it's not on some of those other tissues (the ones some people get carried away with and are permanently desensitized). I just want it to get better as soon as possible. I won't be using that DMT D8C for this job for a good long while. Not on a dinky little razor, anyway.
