"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

Beautiful sunny day today and as it is national holiday I found time for a touch up to some of my razors

My new coticule! Hard, smooth, fast and fine!

The Tuesday trio.

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.



L to R: W&B, Sheffield, Imperial

This custom Max Sprecher shorty was on the stones today what a beautiful razor I didn't want to give it back, posted back out today such a shame I would have loved to give this one a shave.
