"Mom just pooped in our yard."
I hope my sister never tells me that!

Did some honing tonight and considering I've been at work and I have some kinda flu virus , I did pretty well.
One of my Not a Replica blades.
This blade has had years of abuse from me .At one point I breadknifed the bevel off. Silly me.
It had a spur heel or a hook . I didn't wanna get the Dremel out to re shape it so I just DMT-ed it.
Then came the real work. Getting the whole edge flat and honing rite up to the edge. This is part of my game which im most proud of . I say that because a few years ago I didn't have a clue.
Took it through the 1/5/10k Chosera range and then did 100 laps on the Escher as light as I could manage .
I took microscope pictures for your (my) pleasure . All the pictures are at the same spot a few centimetres from the toe. Although I did have to check the whole edge for steps n chips.
Tomorrow i'll shave with it and hopefully get an Escher surprise :)

The moment of truth for the minature razor how would she take to the hones? well I can report back wonderfully well she's a 3/8 wedge so I decided to go with two layers of tape, took a fare bit of time to set the bevel but when i finally got there it was a beautiful micro bevel up the progession, 1K 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K 20K stropped without doubt this little minx is shave ready.:)

I had some free time this afternoon so I decided to try out my new Naniwa 12K SS. I lapped the Naniwa then did a refresh on the two on the right - a Sheffield Cutlery 11/16, and an Imperial Razor Co. - New Improved Eagle. I also recently picked up a W&B Medium Extra Hollow Ground, so after cleaning it up a bit and polishing, I went from bevel set to finish on Norton 1K/4K/8K and the Naniwa. Shave test in the morning...I'm still pretty new at this so we'll see.
