The stuff I sharpen (correction: try to sharpen) is stuff that might have been tossed aside as ruined in the old days


EXACTLY!!!! same point I was making in my first post to this thread....

Give me a new Dovo, TI, or a NOS vintage and I'll be shaving in 30 minutes... as will anybody else who knows their way across a hone....

But were not talking about those here....
Were talking serious metal removal, ie: just shy of a re-grind...
