Thread: Honing twisted smiling razor :-)

Huh, after many hours of unsuccessful honing finaly I done it using sandpaper, Spyderco 302F & 302UF. Razor is S.P. Larson 5/8 spike, and has 2.5 mm chips in the middle and at the tip which I grinded out before honing.

First I didn't realize that it's a diferent honing process if you hone smiling edge, so I put a significant and uneven wear on the spine. Then I realize that the razor is slightly warped. At this point I'm started thinking (too late) and develop myself the process I see later here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/video...eo-series.html

I must say that the razor shave very well, despite that this is my first honing atempt.
And this is my first decent shave with only litle leftover under the chin.
