Honing Advice Joh. Engstrom Eskilstuna
Hello - I am a beginner honer but have had success with a number of Ebay specials including a Dbl Duck, a few Fox's which I love, a Black Demon and a Boker.
I bought a Joh. Engstrom Frameback with Dannemora-Gjhtstal engraved on the spine and have been having a heck of a time getting this arm hair snapping sharp.
I have a Naniwa set of 1K, 3/8K combo and have a few good barber hones I use upon finishing.
I think I set the bevel right and have been using pyramids to try and get this baby in shape and while it's sharp - it's not beard incinerating sharp. Has anyone dealt with this particular razor? Are framebacks not for the faint of honing heart? Any advice would be great. I know I could send this to an expert to hone it up but I bought a bunch of Ebay razors over time so I could learn to hone without destroying an expensive piece and have done okay so far and this is a brick wall for me.
