Thread: Just can't seem to get shave ready

Welcome to SRP! I'll wait for other to chime in, but I just wanted to offer a minor point for consideration while posting.

It is, quite often, very unreadable for many of the folks here(who are getting on or have eye site problems) to compose posts without using the RETURN key. Again, not a pick, but a suggestion.

Fine pics and nice blade!

Kind Regards,

Siguy.

All starts at the beginning. If your begin is at the 4k level you may have a long trip on it with a stainless. Just guessing of course. If you could find somebody in your neck of the woods you would get real help :<0)

If your bevel is not properly set it does not matter what you use in your following progression. Years ago , my mentor saw my collection of stones spread upon the table prior to my first "lesson". He told me to put all the stones away other than the 1k bevel setter . "Once you can get a good bevel set, we will move on. And that will be another day." He told me. Sage advice.

What he said, read it again and again

Honestly no BS you should be able to shave at the bevel set

The Norton 4/8 is really all you need until you get it to pop

I have been hanging around this forum for 2 years and active on it and in SR shaving for 18 months, and I am still AMAZED at the amount of information that exists in posts from the past. Thanks to all of you for building this body of knowledge....now for more time to explore (and test)

I am new, nd Im probably wrong, but thats ok because im used to being wrong.

but my guess is that when you had it honed he used tape, and now you are resetting the bevel and stainless steel

is verry hard and eats away slowwwwww. I have to use special bits to drill it as a carpenter.... so im guessing

you need to use a rougher stone at first untill that dang bevel is set, and you are shaving frogs hair with ease..

and is this what the first poster was talking about when he asks to use the enter key? to space it like this?
