Hi all,
I'm new here. Hi!
I have been working on learning how to set bevels on straight razors that don't have one already. I've been using 1 piece of electrical tape on the spine. I'm not new at all to maintaining the edge, resharpening already pro set razors, stroping, and so on. Just the bevel setting part is new to me.
I start on a 220 norton, 1000 norton, 4k shapton glass, 8k shapton glass, then a 12k naniwa.
I'm having an issue with the heel not getting a great edge at times.
I jeep the spine level with the stone, then I typically place my pointer fingers on the blade to just make sure it maintains even contact, then my thumbs push it along the stones.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Ciara
