Thread: First (and second) hone report

ace,

The dimension of the bevel is a function of edge thickness: the thicker the blade is at the edge, the longer, higher, more obvious the bevel will be. So long as the bevel on on side meets the bevel from the other side at this mini-micro invisible edge and with some various fine grit polishing, you will have your razor's edge. Old wedges had long bevels and seem to have shaved just fine. It's just there is more material to remove to get to that point with a thicker razor and it takes longer to achieve desired sharpness.
