Thread: What's you pattern for eBay specials? (Crap to SHARP³)

Show me your spot and I'll be laughing...right now I'm wishing I had hairier arms

I've been honing Quite a few ebay specials lately.
1 arm is completely bald, the other is half way there

I would help you if I could but I never delt with a warped razor.

Upon a little closer inspection I don't think the razor is warped per se...I THINK I'm actually seeing a second bevel to the edge where it's not sharp. Think bevel that runs the entire length of the blade and at the very edge a SECOND bevel much less acute. Like the bevels on each side of the blade aren't meeting up yet at that end of the blade. I'm going to try a little more time on my 1K focusing on that end and see what happens.

I wish I had better lighting to work under...would'a made it easier to see this before I admitted to having a shaved spot on my leg...

What do ya think?
Is it worth a laugh?

Keep honing on a 4000 grit and check the edge frequently and keep that spine against the hone at all times.

Actually that is kinda funny Nice to meet you Mark, I'm Charles. Believe it or not, I've gotten pretty good at honing GOOD blades, it's these troublesome ones that I'm still having trouble with. Like my favorite Henckel, other than the curved toe it hones up easy and I don't have any trouble keeping it good and sharp. I just need to get a bit more familiar with techniques for dealing with problematic blades as I progress. I'm going to keep working on this one for a while before I give up and send it off too...hopefully I want have to.

How long have you been at this?
I've been at it about 15 years and figure it will be another 40 before I have to give it up.On the other hand I've been using this damn computer for about a year and just know I'll give it up any day now. God I hate computers!
