Nano Hone first experience.
Last saturday, after a six months stop, I finally met again my (SR fans & expert) Rome's friends.
As I had to hone properly an old Bengall Cast Steel (Sheffield - 7/8" Wedge) razor... had the opportunity to test a 3K Nano Hone to set the bevel (2 layers of tape). At first sight it seems really a nice & fast cutter, that leaves an impressively polished bevel.
After that synth stone, I went on my usual nagura's sequence (Tsushima - Asano Mejiro) on Ozuku Asagi Koppa... this time ended with the Red Ohira Tomo.
I wanted to test that one on a Sheffield's steel to see if performed well as on Solingen's steel, despite not being one of my finest tomo.
Images shows the results I expected, and the shave was more similar to the one when I tested Ohira on Nakayama Kiita, than on the same Ozuku I used this time. I.e. a bit less pleasant when shaving, but always very good on post-shave.
