Thread: Hone of the Day

Did a lot of honing today but just the one picture.

Hart not a replica. The bevel looks dodgy but that's just the picture angle & a Carre Dovo.

Both done at the se time.

Congrats on retirement! How do you like the Parker?

Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve56.The Parker is a fine razor,stamped Swedish steel and seems precision ground and finished,though I can't say it shaves any better than my good American,German,English,French,Swedish or whatever, razors.

Natural combo stone with a bit of a dish to it,Henckels 401,Russian horsehide strop used with some slack.I made the ram horn scales,not the best job but getting better as I go.

Sunday shave with Salm coticule,Bison shell cordovan and 7/8 Heljestrand.

Two in for Tuesday, pretty straight forward I may get them back out and in the post later this afternoon.

Hooboy, a LeDandy is something to have!

If I only had one!


Got a couple of old ones together finally.
The KeenKutter needs a new bevel. I will get it on this Chosera 1k with 600 Naniwa slurry to start. Need to find even steel ASAP.
The John Holler likely needs only a strop, but I shall run it through anyway.
No slurry on that one, of course!

Allegro strop and a Norton that I bought for $2.00.A French razor that I can't find any info on.The Norton can really tune up an edge.
