Thanked: 0working out a chip
I have a Dovo Best carbon razor and am new to using a SR. I damaged the very tip of the toe while stropping. I rolled the edge and when I put it on a 12K stone to deal with it, a chip was left on the edge right at the very end of the toe. I have worked most of the chip out using a Norton 4K and 8K doing a pyramid (3 and 3; 1 and 3; 1 and 5). I repeated this a few times and then finished on a 12K stone. It shaves fine but there is still some of chip visible. It is apparent to the naked eye if one looks very closely but does not effect my shave. Since it is shaving fine, I am not going to rehone the razor until it needs it. However, what is the best thing to do now? Go further down the pyramid (beginning with 25 and 25 perhaps) or should I do some circles on a 4K or 8K stone followed by the pyramid? It seems that it is best to do the least to solve the problem. I am guessing that I am not the first person to do this and would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks a lot.
