Honing difference - meister vs newb
I was comparing the bevels on my razors and noticed this:
invariably, bevels from Joe Chandler, Bill Ellis, Robert Williams (the only ones I have razors from, hoping for a Lynn in the indefinite future) have WIDE bevels.
Edges I honed often shave decent, but have much narrower bevels - like half the width of the honemeisters' bevels. I use a Norton 4k/8k, followed by a Lithide, trying to avoid any pressure
I would like to hear some thoughts on that... Is a wider bevel better? How does one achieve it without more pressure?
Thank you!
