Hi guys,

I’ve never set a double bevel but since I ‘ve read that people get great results from it, I’m thinking on setting one on a razor that gives me a harsh feel when shaving. It’s most probably a bevel setting issue but I want to experiment with a double bevel before I proceed to any other action.

I’d like to ask the following please:

1) Is a double bevel usually set on troublesome razors? Does a double bevel give a mellower edge on a quality razor, with a keen and polished edge?

2) Can a double bevel be maintained through touch ups on finishing stones, with the equal number of layers of tape as when setting it?

Many thanks to all in advance.
