Thread: Hone of the Day

It's not only your beautiful collection of razors that makes me jealous, Jaime ... It's your propensity for neatness also!!

That sense of neatness is something I've had since a child Bill, my Mother once said how come that kid always looks so clean and tidy my mind always seems to work better within a orderly and organized space, the older I am i've always wondered if I was slightly autistic I've never been tested so who knows? It also ties in with my slight OCD not that it bothers me that much If I want I can overrule my OCD although I'm always aware of it.

Nothing wrong with a little OCD Jamie. I guess I'm that way because whatever it is, it has to be right or I'm not happy!

It's an excellent virtue to have Jaime!

It would certainly make my wife much happier if I developed it!!

I seemed to have dulled the edge on my Inoue Tosuke with my new Kiita, I think I may have made my slurry too thick... Anyhoo I decided to go back down my tried and tested route of synthetics. 7:1 on Naniwa SS 5k, 5:1 SS 10k and 3:1 then a few ultra light 1:1 Gokumyo 20k.

The resulting shave was very nice indeed.

I've been guilty of putting hone wear on kamis by not torquing the edge... but getting better all the time

Touching up a nice little "contract" razor. E. Kirschbaum, Patterson, N.J. .. a Diamondine, from Germany. Took it to my latest coticule that I love honing on..

I love the look of that stone. The lighting is different from the photos you posted on the CC. Enjoy!

There is the important part brother

I was hoping to get the before pic of the Kamisori but this is the one I ended up having to re-grind

The hollow was so ground flat that it geometrically could no longer get sharp Much better now but no way I could get it prefect.. It should be good for another lifetime at least..






This is a re-scale I did on a new custom, the maker I heard used to work for Hart but I am not positive of that, the grind was nice and even





Both were done on the Chosera 1-5-10k then on the Nakayama Midori with the "Ole' Yeller" nagura

Two oldies in today five in tomorrow, no honing Sunday the weather looks to be good for a nice 8 or 10 miler into the Brecon Beacons with the Mrs and my Bedlington Terriers.
