Hone on gents
CT Bingham Tally Ho, just got back together.
1k,2k,5k,8k kuromaku and finished on 12k naniwa ss. This razor honed so nice and easy. Nice tight bevel and soon shall see how she shaves. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dae020f115.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7fbab01c8.jpg
Time to bring back the edge on the DePew. 10 laps on a Catty #9 then a few hundred on my baby Nakayama Asagi.

Had this NOS vintage blank 13/16ths for a while and I was getting kinda desperate to try it out.
The original plastic scales broke whilst unpinning (drat).
Today I took these ugly plastic scales from a broken blade and it all came together.
I gave the blade a bevel on the Chosera 1k and when I was satisfied I did the old 5/10k .. 16k.. Escher progression .
The bevel is the smallest I've seen and it pops hairs with a nice sound effect..
Now I just need some facial hair and its a go.
I might give this one away to a friend but I will have to force myself to do that, I know I can do it :)

Move to natural stones to settle the edge down. Unknown lower grit natural, could be a Chinese stone that was supposed finisher but is not.

Disinfect w/ Barbicide. Andis Cool Care Plus work good too. Much work w/ wet hands and very sharp edges. Have a nice day.

I got this particular friend onto DE razors some years ago. He shaves with the razor and just water.Quote:

It would make a nice gift for him , I would have to get him a strop as well.
He is always on the razor look out for me so I suppose I should pay my employees :)

Two Hart razors
Alex's air raid shelter jnats
Unknown kiita
Unknown koppa
Testing different tomo nagura
These Hart razors are hard but these two jnats performed so well at finishing them up for a couple of great shaves!
My day is filled with pure Japanese goodness it doesn't get any better for me with these three on the hones.
