The way I see it, Jerry.....your just going in circles.
I hone a local barbers, razors, when he needs it.

I will look for a pic of one of his razors, edge.
Its actually convexed enough to see with the naked eye.

I usually hear from him 2-3 times a year, for five razors.
That's a lot of stropping..!!

Notice how the light reflects off the bevel.

Still shaved with it, he said... NOT ME!!, I said.
