Chosera/Pro 1-5-10 to get them all in line
Gotta love me some minty LeGerlot razors finished on my Blue/Green Escher
Old Turner near wedge that needed a Bumpity Bump bevel smoothed out first,, then took a sweet Coticule edge
Hone on gents"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

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.
Nothing is fool proof, to a sufficiently talented fool...

Got these ready for a test shave. 1K Green Brick thru 12K Naniwa.
ERN, Second Choice 5/8.
Merit Custom. Saved it from broken blade and cracks. Now Solid 3/8.
It's just Sharpening, right?

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

A 7 day set of Kampf lather catchers one layer of tape on holder frog. Blades have to be flipped to assure consistent coverage. Bevel set w/ Chosera 1K
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.
Unknown J-nat very fast cutter and refiner.
Unknown oil stone, Fast like La Lune but finer.
K 70000 strop 100 laps. 7 blades= 700 laps.
Disinfect w/ Barbicide. Andis Cool Care Plus work good too. Much work w/ wet hands and very sharp edges. Have a nice day.
Mike

I got this particular friend onto DE razors some years ago. He shaves with the razor and just water. Originally Posted by outback

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!
