Thread: Hone of the Day

Here are a couple honed up.
Bevel set, no tape

Move to a natural Canadian oil stone, not Washita followed by coti. Very fast mid level cutter with oil. Faster and less aggressive than a Norton 4K.

Pre-finisher unknown Japanese natural prep for final finish.

Final finish on Nakayama Mizu Asagi I got from So Yamashita some years back. Very slow but very, very fine.

Modine, where's that canadian oil stone from? Would like to have a local made mid grade stone in my kit.
Cheers.
Nice stones, and imp

Continuing working on this Hartkopf. Finished last time on the coti side of the Les Lat. Shave was good; close and smooth. Went to the hybrid side today.

Made a little slurry with the coti side of the slurry stone, then grinded and worked the slurry with the hybrid side of the slurry stone for quite some time. Honed on this slurry for a while, slowly diluting and eventually finishing on clear water. I'm confident that the edge is good. The undercut and stiction was violent during the last strokes.

Hone on.

Finished off the LeDandy, and Wapi on the Zulu. Made a slurry on it with my thuri stone and diluted to clear.
Both sucked down on that Zulu like it was under vacuum.
Cheers.

My Zulu Grey is on it's way.... probably another week or two to get here...<sigh>.

If I get anything near what Glenn managed to coax out of my Clauss on the ZG, I'm going to be one happy shaver... even if my finger still hurts!

Thank you sir. Red IMPs can be great shavers. The razors are not mine. The Canadian oil stone was purchased in an antique / book store when I was in Hamilton, Ont some years back. The small sword sharpening stone (same material) was from an estate sale in New England. Notice the Fleur de lis box.

It's NOT butter.

Some pics from last week

This C-MON Filarmonica was so sweet after a bevel reset to even up the edge on the Chosera 1k



Finished it up on the Nakayama using one of the softest Naguras I have IIRC the name was spelled **Akupisa** or close to that




So smooth on the face, yet wicked keen


Hone On !!!!

Probably akepin, that's a shallower, softer stratum.

Cheers, Steve

Restored Otto, Could not find the right feel from multiple great hones.
Zulu on the 1200grit polished side water only did the trick.
