Thread: Suita V's Chosera scratch pattern

No Chris, I was quite impressed at how flat rather than undulating the surface had become. But I can see your point.

Maybe its the photography is a bit to sharp. I actually checked all the way up from 1500 wet and dry to the coticule and then the Chosera. The grit pattern improved significantly each time.

I'll have to take a shot of something as a reference. Maybe a feather razor edge. will show the quality.

I'll post it above soon.

Thanks for the pics!

I know that pics don't show how well a razor can shave, but I'm a sucker for them anyway. In the pictures, it appears that the edge off of the Chocera 10K is reflecting much more light than that of the suita. Perhaps in the future setting the razor in the same position, with the same angle in respect to the light source would be a good idea, so that the images are easier to interpret.

Not trying to bash your work or anything, just a suggestion.

Thanks

Ben,

I think you are correct.
If I get time, I'll try again.But this time I/ll use blue tac or something.
I've only got one of those hand hold magnifiers and when you rest it on the blade for maximum magnification
everything moves.
The bottom line is however, the Suita is much finer than the Chosera. At present, I am shaving off the Chosera followed by Cr Ox and then leather stropping and the shave is just great. Sharp and smooth.
I'm looking to get the suita to replace the Cr Ox and it's showing potential but I'm just learning with it and like all natural hones, you need to experiment to get it working at it' optimum.

But thanks for your observations.
