If it just needed more "smooth " why reset the bevel and not just touch it up on a finisher?
    If the bevel is not set can you make up the smooth in a razor with finishing stones?

    If something seems wrong I would at least make sure that the sole reason for thinking the bevel isn't set isn't just that test.

    This is in addition to the whole question of why the bevel wasn't set at the factory.
    All of my other razor that shave wonderfully don't have the light reflecting?

    As I said, if the bevel was NOT set, on all Three razors, they would be returned to the maker right away.

    Hi,

    I have just found this thread and I will gladly help you with your sharpening issues. Maybe you can contact me per email?

    Anyway, if the razors are very keen as you write (and they should be sharp since I make the HHT test on several parts of the edge on each razor before we ship it) I donīt realy understand how the bevel is not coming together? Nomaly if the razor is sharp the bevel must be together even before you start with reseting it?
    Can it be a bur which has formed when you used the 1K Chosera?

    I think this is something we can solve very fast! If you canīt get the results you expect you can ship them back to us anytime and we rehone them for you!

    best regards,
    Ulrik

    You are awesome Ulrik. I was posting this thread to get others knowledge and experience in honing your razors to learn how to hone a near wedge, NOT question your razors shave readiness! Hope I did not offend this was not my intention at all. I will email you learn what to look out for in how to hone your amazing razors.

    I donīt feel offended at all. But it is crucial for me to get you a perfectly shave ready razors ;-)
    Thatsīs what all customers should expect from a new razor. So if there is any issue we will take care of it.
    And if itīs just a problem with your technique, I will try my best to help you to find the bug.

    Best regards,

    I am hoping that this is an incredibly stupid question...

    By any chance are you a proponent of "killing the edge" before starting a bevel set?

    Dshaves. I've only honed one Koraat and the bevel set went pretty quick due to the quality of the grind. Send me a text if you want to get together to get them figured out. We should be able to get all three bevels set(if not fully honed) in one session.
