Thread: My first try at setting the bevel

But how tall the bevel is, or whether it's perfectly uniform all the way down or 'snake tracks' won't effect the shave if honed adequately sharp to perform the task at hand. I'm assuming your great grandfather's razor shaves fine?

I believe that we may be talking apples and oranges here.

When I comment on the 'width' of a bevel I'm referring to how wide it is from the edge toward the spine.

Now I will fully disagree with your presumption that the width of the edge will vary due to as you said

Here's pictures of three different razors to show what I refer to as the 'width' of the bevel. They are all very narrow.

Please tell me which razor is what size and what grind.
