Crap. I'm doomed.

Very neat idea and great looking set! Looking forward to the results.

Jeez oh dear, you do good work!

Very nice set of razors, and very nice restore, I am jealous.

Exact progressions for the Honing junkies

7 Razors:
Bevel set on a Chosera 1k basically 20 circles each side then 20 laps so that they were popping arm hair easily..

5 Razors:
Honed on the 1-3-8 Henckels Hones (Naniwa SS by another name) then finished on the 5 different naturals listed above using mostly a light slurry and pig tail strokes then dilute to clear water, except the Nakayama which I take to an almost dry state...

1 Razor:
Naniwa SS 1-3-5-8-10-12 using the technique of 10 laps on light slurry and 10 laps to clear water as described in the Naniwa honing thread..

1 Razor:
Shapton GS 1-2-4-6-8-16-30 using the same style technique as the Naniwas and the 3-2-1 finish on the 30k


7 Razors:
Stropped 8 laps on a 24 in Leather bench strop, coated with 99% pure CeOx powder mixed with Fromm strop conditioner...

7 Razors:
Stropped 50/100 Illinois #827, test shaved... re-stropped 25/50 SRD Premium #1, oiled and then sent to Michael...

Very nice set and great work. congratulations
Enjoy not so many people as lucky as You are.

8 laps on the CeOx strop? Doesn't that wash away the characteristics of the finishing hones a bit? Or it doesn't matter that much as I think?

Funny how those 8 laps caught yer eye, but the 225 laps on linen and leather plus a test shave did not I actually find that most interesting...

I' have to chew on that a bit, but I think it has to do most with what I wrote earlier today in another thread here... http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...tml#post776565

You have a point Glen It is possible that the linen and leather laps and a test shave changes the edge more than the 8 laps on the paste. I am not used to shaving right off the stones without stropping, and I test shave every blade before giving it back, so I think it is so natural for me that I didn't even think about it.
