The moment of truth for the minature razor how would she take to the hones? well I can report back wonderfully well she's a 3/8 wedge so I decided to go with two layers of tape, took a fare bit of time to set the bevel but when i finally got there it was a beautiful micro bevel up the progession, 1K 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K 20K stropped without doubt this little minx is shave ready.

I had some free time this afternoon so I decided to try out my new Naniwa 12K SS. I lapped the Naniwa then did a refresh on the two on the right - a Sheffield Cutlery 11/16, and an Imperial Razor Co. - New Improved Eagle. I also recently picked up a W&B Medium Extra Hollow Ground, so after cleaning it up a bit and polishing, I went from bevel set to finish on Norton 1K/4K/8K and the Naniwa. Shave test in the morning...I'm still pretty new at this so we'll see.

This custom Max Sprecher shorty was on the stones today what a beautiful razor I didn't want to give it back, posted back out today such a shame I would have loved to give this one a shave.

Here's a pretty little French frameback. Final finish on vosgienne stone w/oil.

The refresh went great. Both razors gave a great shave. The W&B, not so much. I'm sure there is a place near the heel where the bevel is not set so I'll try again. Originally Posted by Demetrius

Decided to do a SRP member Wolfpack finish on this razor, Coti followed by and Escher....after the Nani 12k, some time on the Coti, then a nice long walk on the Escher....another shave test tomorrow, and if it rocks it, then to some CROX to tighten it all up. Originally Posted by Phrank

The pyramid method, as I understand it, makes no sense. On the 12k I will do 10-20 strokes depending on how the blade acted on the other stones.
