Hone of the Day

Another new production Hart

I just started this one with 2 layers of tape and the Chosera 5k then to the 10 k and to a Nakayama finisher using a super fine Mejiro

Simplicity and a smooth shave

Got up to get a cup o Joe and found these hanging in the back yard hehehe

I found time tonight to hone up 2 blades.
They didn't need honing but my experiments must continue

Firstly my Spartacus. 1k then Nagura progression finished with a soft Tomo and some new secret techniques (shh)
Really pleased with this and I cant wait to test shave it..

The second, my brothers Dovo . You can tell its his by all the staining .. This one I killed the perfectly good edge and did the old 1/5/10k chosera progression.
Then I went to the Escher holding it half in my hand like that guy on you tube and gave it 30 super light strokes with water...

Job done..

Here is a co workers modern production Hart 7/8 razor I honed up last night! It had a V shape to the blades edge not a smile, where 1" of the toe of the blade on one side did not meet the stone with one layer of tape. It looked like from the factory the blade in order to pass the test had the spine lifted off the stone in order to make contact with the stone. It had a large secondary bevel 1" off the toe and it had several chips in it....from the factory

. So I moved up to two pieces then three pieces to see if the blade with a rolling X stroke would now make contact with the stone which it did! I set the bevel, worked my way up the progression and finished on my Nakayama Asagi, w/slurry finish.

Did some honing tonight and considering I've been at work and I have some kinda flu virus , I did pretty well.

One of my Not a Replica blades.
This blade has had years of abuse from me .At one point I breadknifed the bevel off. Silly me.

It had a spur heel or a hook . I didn't wanna get the Dremel out to re shape it so I just DMT-ed it.

Then came the real work. Getting the whole edge flat and honing rite up to the edge. This is part of my game which im most proud of . I say that because a few years ago I didn't have a clue.

Took it through the 1/5/10k Chosera range and then did 100 laps on the Escher as light as I could manage .

I took microscope pictures for your (my) pleasure . All the pictures are at the same spot a few centimetres from the toe. Although I did have to check the whole edge for steps n chips.

Tomorrow i'll shave with it and hopefully get an Escher surprise
