The razor pictured is a W&B wedge"fine India steel". I have fought this blade since I bought it. Tonight I tried again, 5 layers of tape, 4k Norton to set the bevel using circles then onto x strokes.
Next 8k norton x strokes finally 12k naniwa ss to finish.
Strop and shave. I got a close shave yet not really comfortable but not really uncomfortable. I tried changing blade angle here and there and it was a blah shave. No razor burn, no nicks or wheelers just blah.
So my thought is go back to 4k with 4 layers of tape, reset bevel and progress again. Would like some input from you guys with more experience see what your thoughts are. Thanks for reading sorry its such a long post.
