Thread: i'm at war with my SS blade! any suggestions?

Like an earlier post I had a few problems with some SS blades, maybe Im repeating earlier info...but i found that I just couldnt get my edge shaving sharp...
After too much time on the hones I consulted joe chandler.
To cut a long story short, i ended up using my TOS and an escher in a rotation type pyramid using slurry with both and without slurry on both, the idea that was presented to me was more of polishing the cutting edge, and bugger me it worked..Im not saying that everyone needs a TOS but it did help me out ALOT.

I doubt that this may help anyone but it certainly helped me.

so i shaved today with my Puma and it was really nice, though i did cut myself twice because this thing is so sharp . but the rest was so good i don't even care. i ended up doing about 200 extra laps on the CrOx just for the fun of it, then 20 on the linen and 50 on the leather before the shave. i needed very little pressure and kept the skin taught and it is nice and smooth.

this thing will be in my regular line up now for sure, plus i think i can now put what i have learned (thanks to the posts on here ) to use in refining my Carbon steel razors.

thanks again

Excellent, chee, glad to hear it!
