    Let's be objective here (for a minute, anyway) - this thread ceased to have much importance after post no.27

    The facts are:

    1. The razor shaved fine when honed with the 12k hone as the final finisher.
    2. The chipping occurred after the 20k hone was used as final finisher.

    Inference: the 20k hone refines the steel alloy this razor is made from a bit too much.

    Solution: remove chipping and re-hone to 12k.

    Not much more to be said, is there?

    Regards,
    Neil

    It ain't over till WE say it is! :deal

    It's not over till you hone it up, strop, shave, inspect, and report back! How are we to learn otherwise?

    Elegant is not the first word that comes to mind.........I'm looking at that hole in the front and thinking Elmer Fudd is a bad wing shot and just blowing their asses off the water when they land.
