Honing and STUCK on a plateau!!
I am having a problem getting results on a 6/8th's Soligen, after I get a good hair popping bevel on my lower grit stone[bevel setting] when I go to my 8K and start polishing the edge won't cut hair either HHT or SHT? I tried to shave with it but it seems to need to be stropped twice during the shave and only cuts well for a short while?? I have a norton 220/100 and a Nortone 4K/8K and am leveling them with a DMT continious 325Gr. stones, thanks to Howard Schechter of the perfect edge, He let me lay-away them other a period of time because of my very limited income, THANKS HOWARD!! Now, I have used Lynns both conservative pyramid and the more agressive pyramid with as light and even a stroke as I can use while keeping the blade flat and even. I did try to polish on the 8K, final polish that is, useing 20 strokes heel leading, 20 toe leading, 20 flat across, and 20 X patern strokes to get good coverage of the edge, and I"m wondering, over honing question aside, is it possible that a Soligen razor could just be a bad shaving[G forbid!!] or should I just chalk it up to my ever STEEPENING learning curve?? [I"ll be more than willing to accept that as an answer]
I hope I was clear enough, wordy as this question was.
Thanking you all in advance, to Lynn A. and everyone at SRP!!
