    Default I Need The Experts! I'm Cofused

    I have to go against the grain on the forum again. I am pretty sure I am going to be very unpopular,but questions in my head keep bugging me. It is the advice given out to well everyone by people with 2,000 post to 23,000. I know I shouldn't do this but ....there is a post called "Bevel Issues? Or What?" Where a man with a full beard shaves part of his face smooth and the other side as some razor stubble. This question is for the experts on the site. How did a sharp razor shaving only a few centimeters of skin get dulled to the point that it needed I can not remember how many circles of honing. Well I was hoping some one would read that post "Bevel Issue? Or What? I only want to debate the wisdom on here.

    His bevel was not fully set from heel to toe..

    Once the bevel was fully set, he polished out and stropped it up and the shave worked

    The bevel set was the key to his issue, it had weak spots in it, you can often times actually see "Blunting" using the light test.. This makes for an inconsistent cutting action while shaving..

    Really about 9 outta 10 honing issues can be traced back to the Bevel set

    If you shaved and felt of you checks one was smooth and the other had razor stubble. Honestly would you take the razor back to the stone? Rinse the razor ? Put tape on it ? lol Sorry Are maybe shave that spot again?

    You are taking the entire thread out of context, the guy was learning to hone he was adjusting his honing, as he was testing with shaving..
