    Had a one on one honing session this week w/ new SRP member and his Dovo.


    Finish on Y/G Thuri. Did DOVO's quality just take another drop?

    No whiskers left to test it with today though.

    I dropped this Aust off an end table and put three dings in the edge. Tonight I finally got past the dings doing circles and x-strokes on a Naniwa 5k, then x-strokes on a Naniwa 8k, 12k, and finally a Thuringian. Not shown is the Wade & Butcher I touched up on the 12k and Thuringian.

    It must be contagious..
    I honed and shaved with my Hart blade the other day and it was truly special.
    Afterwards I thought I'd Mass it, oil it and save it.
    When I'd finished , the edge some how banged into my finger nail.
    The edge is totally destroyed , ha, that'll teach me /:

    I think it is contagious. I just had it happen to a John S. Holler "Tower Brand" #54. I was storing it in an old razor box and the lid didn't fit tight at all. I picked it up at an angle, razor slid right out and got a ding in the edge when it hit the table. Spent some quality time honing that one out on the 4k side of a Norton. Then I went and put a layer of masking tape around the end of the box where the lid fits on to snug it up.

    Thanks guys.... It's so "liberating" to know it's "not just me" when it comes to dropping the &*($#&@-@# razor.

    That said, I do feel for ya'll as I know all too well the feeling!

    Ha it contagious all right. Luckily I dropped a gold dollar and due to the heavy spine it landed spine first with no damage. Well a good nick on the finger on the way through but blade was fine.

    Honed up my brothers "Not A Replica" blade tonight.

    Did it yesterday but the heel had a few shiny spots which bugged me all day today.

    I realised that it wasn't a vintage, needing rolling strokes but a different animal, more delicate in some respects due to its micro chipping.

    The whole blade is honed to the very edge. Done on the Maruka with full Nagura progression (only way I hone nower days) finished with a DMT slurry that gave it a devastating edge.

    I only wish I was gonna shave with it, my bro is lucky

    Just got this w&b 5/8 wedge back together. This blade took every trick I have which isn't many. Put my 1/4 Norton's through the paces. I started trying to set bevel on the 1k struggled so I decided to go right to my 4k. Things turned for the better, after some time on 4k finally got bevel set then 8k and finish on 12k ss. 3 layers of tape and lots of hard times finally got it.
    Nothing is fool proof, to a sufficiently talented fool...
