The Battle is won
i have had this razor for about 5 years, i am not sure how old it is but it has ivory scales, and for my 7 months of shaving with a straight razor, i have been trying to get this razor back in the game. BUt i never was able to re gain the razor edge for 1/4 of the blade it was always dull, i must have spend hours on my 4k stone just trying to get that edge. Finally i went on Amazon to buy a norton 220/1000 stone but i was a bit pricy. So i found a King 250/1000 Grit Combination stone, for about 30 bucks, and after a few minutes on the 220 i went to the 1000 for about 30 minutes, 30 more minutes on the 4k, finally 45 on the 8k. I have never gotten a razor this sharp before, it passes the HHT test, and shaves like a dream,

Congrats on your success. Mighty good feeling when one of the tough ones gets to shave ready.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
