Sharpening a sharp razor
Some time ago I picked up this Henri Bellefontaine Dryonit SR.
My question: The razor is sharp, but not hair popping sharp. Under 60x I can see the edge is in very good condition...no micro-chips, no rust or pitting, the bevel is even and there is minimal hone wear. I don't think it was used very much. Since it was an antique store find I don't know what was used to sharpen it initially. But it does need to be touched up. When I put it on the stones where should I start? Do I have to reset the bevel? Or should I move to the 3K, 8K or 12K (I use Naniwa stones). Any advice? This is a very nice razor and I want to make sure I do it right the first time.
