The basis for ever great edge is a perfect apex. When refreshing, check it with a loupe before you start. Use a bright light and look nearly straight sown on the edge. It should be difficult to see and any sparkle or whilinesindicate that I should drop a little lower than a finisher. Depending on your use and hones you can often figure out a good routine and more often can be easier for many.

The scales were going thru cell rot, anytime Alan or I tried to unpin it, the scales would shatter, and crumble. So I offered to make him a new set from a piece of African Blackwood. He asked about the inlay in the original scales, which I removed, and made it a onlay. Tricky to do the first time, but I think I would do it a bit differently, next time. I've yet to do bolsters....but, someday. Originally Posted by JP5

Great work! The wood by itself has a beautiful grain, but it goes really well with the inlay. The finish looks really good too.
I bought a razor with celluloid scales that had crumbled into a bunch of tiny pieces like sawdust. Fortunately, the blade was spared. Still, cell rot is bummer!

Hi Alan,
Since I'm a fellow Montrealer who is also learning to hone, it would be nice to get together sometime!
