"GETTING THE GREAT EDGE"

To all the new guys looking around here trying vainly to get there razor to shave decently,just listen to the old pros,not me the mentors- SET A GOOD BEVEL FIRST, most of them have said it over and over again but all of us forget sometimes. I had a Torry That just wouldn't live up to what it could be until I remembered and reset the bevel with just a plain Norton setup1000-8000,and a coticule bout and turned it into a great shaver,buttery smooth and SHARP! These guys know what there talking about,its 90percent in the bevel IMHO
thanks

Amen! I have only honed a handful of razors but the one time that I figured the bevel was "good enough", not quite shaving arm hair all along the blade but good enough, I was in for alot of frustration. I ended up having to go back to the 1k stone and do the job properly. When I have put in my work on the bevel the rest goes relatively smooth. Put in your work on the bevel or you are just peeing against the wind.
