Thread: A littel quality time touching up the rotation on the 12K

That is not uncommon for an edge to break down, after repair, if it was not fully set.

Not enough time was spent on the 1k to fully set the bevel. What you did was not a regular honing or a touch up, it was a repair with a full bevel set and is completely different from a regular honing where the bevels already exist.

This is not uncommon for new honers, and when you do this kind of honing the importance of a full bevel set cannot be overlooked. Especially if you are in a hurry to get an edge on it.

So with all the finish honing you have done on this razor the bevels are probably now pretty flat and in the proper angle/alignment, you just need to get them to meet fully.

It should not take too much to get there, look at the edge and then set it on the 4k, you will have to do less polishing on the 8k.

USB scopes are nice for teaching or taking photos but useless for honing. I never use them except to teach, So we are looking at the same thing. I use a 60X $2 lighted loupe, mostly for honing.
