Thread: The Mysterious Missing Slivers of Edge

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?

Neil
