Thanked: 0New Boker - stropping issue - Do I need to restore edge ? How ?
Hi,
I am a newbie. I bought a new razor Boker edelweiss from SRD a couple of weeks ago. I had some good shaving with it and stropping the razor I could get it very sharp (popping hairs). I had a nice bevel/edge when looking in the microscope.
Unfortunately, experiencing stropping, I think that I screwed up my edge/bevel? on one side of the razor. Looking in the microscope, I can see a good edge at the end of the razor (Toe ?) but not much of an edge (bevel) on the other side (Heel). - I also see a small nick in the blade edge.
DO I need to reset the bevel ? Or can I restore the edge just with pasted strop / Naniwa 12000 ? I am also trying to decide if it is something I can try myself or if I should send it back to Lynn (At some point I will have to jump in anyway because I cannot send my razor back every 2 weeks)
Thanks for your advice / experience.
Yves
