It was just enough to warrant touch up with the stones so I tried pyramiding between my Shappy 8000 and my Shappy 16000.
I did 10 passes each on the 8000/16000 stones then 5 each. I went 3/5 and 1/5 to finish. I stropped it 40 each on my cotton SRP strop/ Latigo leather strop/ English Bridle leather strop and the blade was HHT scary sharp. Shaving was a dream. Smooth and easy are the phrases of the day. I tried the same rotation on a Genco Heavy and a Torrey that I am selling with similar results. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for your comments.
