Rolls Razor how good an edge do they take.
I'm trying to hone up a rolls blade and I have it as what I would consider to be just about shave ready but not as sharp as I get my straights.
It was an ebay buy and having established that the built in hone isn't bringing it back to shave ready I removed the safety bar, used a light slurry on a coticule then diluted to water and finished with 100+ laps on a PHIG. I then went to the built in hone then stropped it with the built in strop.
The shave was OK and the blade isn't far off where I would like it to be, my next move would be to take it onto a 1k stone and follow a progression but I'm wondering if the blade will take a really good edge or should I expect it to be just short of a decent quality straight.
