Thanked: 13234I just got a bad bad feeling on this
You started off asking how to do a smiling razor
Now you are asking about Breadknifing
DO NOT !!!!! Breadknife a smiling razor to make it easier to hone, you will DESTROY the geometry
Already plenty of those abortions for sale on eBay no need to make more
If I am reading that wrong, I apologize"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

Hi Glen,
Don't worry, I have no intention of bread knifing anything ever.
I just heard the term and wondered what it meant (education).
I am an avid watcher of your youtube vids. I must have seen them all half a dozen times.
After lunch I am going to hone my smiler on 4k/8k Nortons with the swoop and see if I can get it sharp.
I have shaved with it after honing it and it feels pretty smooth, shaves well enough but won't pop hair on my arm so I guess it's not right yet.
This will be my third try on the stones, lucky it's only a practice razor eh?

Thanked: 110My breadknifing happened while making a stroke on a stone and halfway through I basically made a divot with the edge which in turn brought the spine up to a 90 degree angle.. Not sure if doing this is called breadknifing? But it sure f#@ked my edge up! ..

The shave test is the only for sure test, Steve. If it works for you, I'd all that matters. Unless your reaching for something better. When I started shaving n honing, all I had was one stone, fine enough for straights. But not fine enough, its only around 1 or 2000 grt., , but that's what I shaved off of for many years, till I learned about other hones specifically for straights.
