Thanked: 1How to tell if it is honed enough. Razor is splitting single hair.
Hi all,
I have been working on a CV Heljestrand and I've been using a Norton Soft Arkansas Oilstone SB8. After several laps on the stone I tried the hair test. The hair was not severed on contact like some of my other razors. I lifted the hair up and down and at one point, the hair stuck on the razor and I pulled down. As I pulled down, a "peeling" effect occured where the razor seemed to make 1 strand of hair into 2 as I pulled the strand across the blade.
Has anyone seen this happen and does that mean my razor is sharp enough?
