Thread: Hone of the Day

Sunday morning - a coffee , and i pull the big guns out . Just a refreshing on 2 old boys .

GLAMOUR SHOT! Refreshed my Shave-O-The day on this one. 100 X-stokes followed by 100 passes on Kanayama 70000.


Think it will Shave?

One of the best razors ever produced in Solingen: Sahara Gold - Camel Rider. Honed and finished on my finest vintage Tamagoiro stone.



I got this razor NOS - without any bevel set, dull, didn't cut any arm hair. Set the bevel on a 1000 king. Within 5 minutes on the 1000, the razor didn't even cut arm hair but also a HHT 3 was possible with a little stropping on linen/leather. Unbelievable - did not get this with any other razor I ever had. Another 5 minutes on the tamgoiro with some slurry and a few strokes on water only and the razor was shave ready. The razor is extremely thin grinded. The sound while cutting hair is unbelievable. Keenest razor I ever had in my face. But also very smooth and forgiving. Absolutely perfect shave!

First time ive seen a NOS Sahara Gold.
Congratulations

Did my T.I Spartacus tonight.

Getting to the whole edge (under the scope) took some time but I got there.

I wont shave until next Saturday , should be good.



Under the scope. Cant tell the shave quality from this but we love pictures .


Check out my DMT slurry. 2 colours from one stone , wow wee

The edge looks great!

Last nights honing was a heckuvalot of fun.

The ERN and Morley needed a full bevel set, went Naniwa 1k, 2k, 5k, 8k and 12k

My "Beater" Razor and Schmachtenberg were touched up on two different cotis.

I am slowly working on getting chips out of a Case razor I got in a lot awhile ago. They're about 1/8" long and will reduce the width just outside of the shoulder. I think I might break out my carbordium which should have a 320ish side

While I was at it, I pulled out my Kitayama stone and sharpened my favorite kitchen knife.

Beautiful kitchen knife..!!
Ground just like a Japanese Samurai sword, and looks as deadly.
It would become my favorite too.

What make is it...can't read Japanese.

I bought it from a maker in Japan. I'm very happy with his knives. His name is Watanabe.

Thank you. It looks to be versatile, and used for many tasks, like amputations. [emoji1]
