Marshal,
Thanks for the link. I would love to go there and watch, but I have DSL internet with a "Fair Usage" attached, ergo, watching youtube sucks up all my time. Just one 20 minutes of youtube brings an end to my internet use.
Thanks for all your effort. I appreciate what you have provided.
Glock27, do you have any friend or acquaintance that has better access to online videos? Watching a few honing videos, or getting help in person, would definitely improve your honing.
Utopian,
No I don't. I am pretty much locked into DSL. Right now I am down to 85% of internet time remaining from my provider via their
Fair Use" policy.
I have an electric hone I can set up to attempt to correct the problem then sharpen with my stones, but I am a bit anxious about using it. The device is a spinning water hone. Angles can be set up on it, but I am not really sure how I should set it up. Tape the spine and go at it or leave the spine open on the rotating hone. I goes at a low speed.
since I have considered just pitching the razor I just might give it a go. Not committed yet.
Thanks for your efforts. It is appreciated.
Have a good read thru this & learn different strokes amongst other things:
Honing: Troubleshooting Guide - Straight Razor Place Library
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ! Don't do it !
Removing bucket loads of steel on a power tool is no substitute for a geometry assessment & subsequent corrective honing.
Agreed.
Do NOT use any power equipment on a razor.
Where are you in Michigan? We need to find someone near you to give you help in person.
Let us know, I have been meaning to go on a roadtrip
Actually, are you anywhere near Ann Arbor? I too need to make a road trip. I have a college room-mate that lives there and I'm supposed to visit him some time this summer.
Not real close. I am in Midland City, Midland County. Ann Arbor is south of me. It is a three hour drive from Ann Arbor to here. I think if you draw a straight line from Midland down, Detroit is more to the east of me and Ann Arbor is more to the west. I have been here 47 years and still don't know my way around without a map,
