Thanked: 2Getting my Bismarck to pass the Hanging Hair Test
I honed my new Dovo Bismarck 6/8" today, but I can't get it to pass the hanging hair test. I personally hone all my razors and my Dovo Best Quality 6/8" does pass the standing hair test.
I have a Norton 4k/8k and a Naniwa 12k. I do the circle method used by Lynn followed by 10-15 X-strokes on the 4k side with and without pressure, followed by 5-10 X-strokes on the 8k side, followed by 6-8 X-strokes on the Naniwa 12k.
Does anyone have any advice on getting a Bismarck sharp enough to pass the hanging hair test? Is honing a Bismarck different from honing a best quality? What am I doing wrong?
