Thread: Honing poor/hard steel and bad geometry???

Okay, so last night I shaved with the razor in question! Also I decided to use the advice given to me by BobH to do some spine leading strokes and finish with edge leading strokes to see if that would do anything on another Hart 7/8 blade I have which is an older batch too.

Op Hart razor shaved wonderfully (right side of my face)! I did not do the spine leading strokes followed by edge leading on this one yet. This razor was finished on a 16k Shapton glass.

Second Hart razor shaved even better (left side of face) With spine leading strokes and finished with edge leading strokes. So keen and probably the smoothest edge I have ever shaved with in the 2 1/2 years I have been shaving with a straight. Boom! This razor was finished on one of my jnats.

Again thank you everyone for your advice and willingness to help a guy out even if I have been on here fussing about the same razors! Although I am grateful these razors are not easy to hone because every time I encounter a problem it open an opportunity to learn something new about "the big honing skill picture" each time!

I will try to take some photos tonight and post them tomorrow, I love photos too!
