Josh at the Wyomissing Barber Shop recently bought a beautiful Revisor razor. I checked it out Thursday and found that it had an issue scratching the strop on the towards me stroke when stropping. There was a sharp edge on the point (back side) so I took it home , sanded and buffed the point. Problem solved there.


Then I found that the edge was warped because the front center bevel was very thin and the front point and heel bevel was very wide. Corrected the warp in the usual manner. 8k shave was very respectable but wanted to go to the 20k. I noticed that the 20k needed a good lapping. I started lapping the 20k on my DMT 220. This was going too slow to suit me. Changed to the Atoma 400 for lapping the 20k. Much improved speed on the 400.

So I will deem this an informal comparison test between the DMT 220 and the Atoma 400 Diamond plate. As things stand at the moment, the Atoma gets a better evaluation that the DMT 220.

Has anyone done a similar comparison???
