A Benchmark for Newbees.
Hi all, new/old guy here with a question that might be helpful for other newbees too. First, I have, and am still, reading forums and posts, furiously, so I don't ask out of laziness.Heck, I'm still reading about beer, and Moonshine. Anyway, Here's what I have at this point.
600/1k syn. waterstone Taidea
2k/5k syn.waterstone "
12(?)k cnat from the Polish guy
Harbor Freight diamond hone of indeterminant grit.
A fictitious, absolutely middle of the road straight razor, with a 1/32 chip in the middle.
I breadknife it on the diamond thing, completely flat.
Now, given no stupid mistakes, nor high level of expertise, should, say, 100 strokes on each stone be adequate to produce a set bevel, and a good shaving edge?
I ask this to help me interpret what I see with the microscope.
GSS, anyone, want to take the time? Thanks, Howard, in Nm. high desert.
