Thread: Toe isn't as sharp

Sounds like you rolled the edge while stropping...we have all done it. Try using a magic marker on the edge to see how it's coming into contact with the stones. The toe may need a bit more work on the 3K. You may try 20 light circles clockwise, then counter clockwise, followed with 20 x strokes...each side. Then go back to Glen's method from start to finish.

If you can't get it, send it to me & cover the postage & I'll hook you up.

Thanks shooter I didn't think of the magic marker I have read about it but it didn't come to mind.

Sounds like you have the tools, so all you need to do is "hone your skills" to get that razor where you need it. I'm sure you will get it back into shaving order just fine. While you are learning the honing side of things I may suggest your working with a layer of electrical tape on the spine to save un-needed wear.

Those Le Jaguar razors are great razors, which reminds me...I have a 4/8 around here somewhere that I need to get to.

Jaguars are very fine razors. Taping the blade sometimes will help and sometimes will hurt.
Just be careful when you tape the spine.
Lets say this- if you tape the spine of the blade and cannot get the edge get sharper after 30-50 strokes take tape off and start all over.
hope this helps.
