    Default Bevel setting on an edge with a smile.

    Hi, guys.

    I'd like to ask the following:

    Which method do you use for setting the bevel on a smiley edge?

    I know how to set the bevel on a straight or slightly curved edge.

    I never had a razor with a clear, wide smile, I'm completely inexperienced

    when it comes to that.

    Thanks.

    check out YouTube, gssixgun honing a smiling wedge. I use. that exact stroke and works fine for me.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    +1 on the rolling strokes. I use two hands to get even pressure from the tip to the heel and do 45 degree angle x-strokes. There's a bunch of ways to get the whole edge as seen in the video - do whatever is easiest for you.
