Thread: Honed 1st ebay straight yesterday

Purchased 2 ebay str8s and started the long, read that longggg, process of taking slightly chipped edges to 1K bevel set. The first blade took 1 1/2 hours on the 1K to get the chips out and to set the bevel, while the second took about an hour. Shaved with the 1st razor this morning which turned out quite well. The second blade, after honing, I found a small hair line crack from the cutting edge up about 1/4 inch. The crack was so small that the only way I found it was to feel with a finger and then look under magnification. So far I'm batting 500!

any before and after pics by chance?

Wish I had taken photos. But the resulting closeness of the shave were worth the effort.
