You can't really remove that much steel that you would notice any development into a smile in a few honings. You would have to be seriously grinding at it to see it in one go. I only have a couple I have managed to do that to, and they had serious edge pitting with the end result having to be a reprofiling of the edge. Since you're trying to polish and shave off a 1k, your pressure isn't going to be anywhere near that

Thanked: 110I can personally attest to the quality of Victor's razors Steve.. Fantastic workmanship for sure... I purchased the brick red one he has on his site and was a wonderful shaver.. Unfortunetly for me with the mycarta scales and how hollow his blades are it is almost feather light and i prefer a bit more weight . I cant remember who i sold it to here on the forum but i remember they sent me a note a little while after saying how much they enjoyed it..
Vic gets rave reviews from his customers and for good reason... He makes great razors.. I do plan on purchasing another in the not so distant future but this time i will have a 7/8 custom blade and some heavier acrylic scales..
