For reasons I can't explain I have 2 nice looking razors that I can't seem to get a good edge on. one is a Bismarck. 6/8 registered. it will pass the dreaded HHT and still not give a comfortable shave. I also have a Bengal 6/8 that is a little better but not in the class of my Wade and Butchers or my ducks. I use the 1K-3K-8-12K naniwa and the 20K then stropping about 50-60 rounds. it's got now when I go to shave I carry at least 2 razors. I use tape on the spine don't want to scratch them up. I have another Bengal 6/8 that shaves like a dream. I'll watch the videos some more and see if i'm leaving anything out or if i'm adding anything. any ideas out there.
