Bevel Corners of Hone (any reason not to?)
Quote:
The reason we bevel the corners of a hone is to avoid doing any damage to that razor sharp edge we are trying to develop. Those non bevelled edges have the potential to do some serious damage.
Is there any reason not to bevel the corners of hones? The straights I own thus far all have a bit of a smile, and I know many suggest using a technique that relies more on the edge of the hone to keep the smile smiling :)
Should I bevel the edges of my hones considering I have smiling razors? (If so, how much do you guys suggest?)
