Thread: Which grind

How true. Some of these razors can be a real challenge.
I would hone those micro chips out of the blade. I have a 30x loup that has really helped me see what is going on when I work on the edge.
Those cheap Radio shack scopes are too hard for me to use.

If at all possible, try to avoid putting pressure on the flat of the blade. Though it may help you reach a part of the edge that you are missing, that uneven pressure is going to create other trouble with the edge. You are better off using a stroke that will allow you to reach the full length of the blade, even if this requires correcting the spine or the bevel, or using tape.

I forgot about the American use of the word "Johnson".There's no way I'm goin' near me Johnson with anything sharp which is why I don't shave in the shower
