When the bevel is set......??
First off, I am very sorry if this has been asked AND answered over 100 times already. I have looked and looked and read... and read some more. It just isnt clicking or hasnt been explained in a way that I "get" yet. So, my question is, how do you know when the bevel is set, and you just need to touch up?
They way I understand it,if the bevel is set, you can cut arm hair, and from that point on you just need to smooth and polish the "groves" in the blade. yeah? or am I way off base?
If I got some new straights off of ebay, and they were "shave ready" (which I know they are not), they will cut arm hair, pass the tpt (I think) and seem to be realtively ok.... they just dont shave well. Is this a job for the norton 4k/8k? light strokes.. some polishing.
Or would you need to reset the bevel on somehting like this?
Again, sorry, I know.. totally a newb question. It just isnt clicking.
If anyone can dumb it down for me I'd really appreciate it!!
