Thanked: 0Question Regarding unhoned NOS 7/8 Friodor
I'm ready to begin getting this shaving sharp, but was just struck with the notion that I may not have anything with a low enough grit to set a bevel. My arsenal includes a Norton 4000/8000, a vintage coticule, a Handamerican system including honing film/ diamond spray. I have many various paddle/balsa crox setups. My lowest would be a well worn medium DMT diamond 6" bench but I can't imagine using it on a razor, I also have one old barber hone ( kind of a small swaty) ANd a few leather pads that I've charged with black valve grinding paste. Any tips greatly appreciated, I'd be pretty ****ed if I mess this razor up, it's my finest piece and one I hope will be my best shaver. I also bought an old wade and butcher wedge and was I ever shocked to see that it was a midget, although not as small as a corn razor, it's 5 1/2 closed but the blade is maybe 2 " with no hollowing, ,so I guess 3 layers of tape to achieve a bevel, I've never done a wedge or a New razor. Thanks in advance, Mike
