I have selected the tools for this event.
I started on the Puma last night, and will test drive it tonight.
Here's a pic of the two razors that will be subjected to the Norton throughout January

Do you think you can afford to take one of your Filis out of rotation for an entire month? You might run short on supply!

Is that Norton cut in half or is it just the pic that gives me that idea? Originally Posted by Birnando

The pic is misleading imo, looks like a normal size to me. Originally Posted by Martin103

Thanked: 13226 Lapping Video
OK I just posted a real time 27 minutes long Brand Spanking new Norton lapping Video...
I have to apologize in advance as I couldn't get a better angle on the sink so my shoulder was in the way during a ton of it
I went ahead and posted it up anyway as there is still some good info in there and you can make out quite a bit still, plus it isn't like you can redo a "First" lapping
ps: I don't think I said "At this point in time" at all during it

ps: Seriously if you watch this whole thing, you can officially call yourself a Straight Razor Geek, because this is not the most exciting video out there

I finished the CMon, the following is the procedure I used:
I lapped the 4K with a DMT 325, cleaned the hone off and raised some slurry with the same DMT.
I did 40 lite pressure circles followed 10 X strokes and repeated 5 times until I could shave arm hair at skin level. I rinsed the 4K, raised very thin slurry and did 10 X strokes, then repeated this with water only.
I lapped the 8K with the DMT 325, cleaned the hone off and raised some slurry with the same DMT.
I did 40 circles less pressure followed by 10 X strokes 4 times, after this I was able to cut hair a 8th inch above skin level. I rinsed the 8K, did 20 X strokes on water only.
I re-lapped the 8K side with the DMT, followed by 2000 grit sandpaper, then 4000. The surface of the 8K became less matted.
I did 30 X strokes with no pressure, 50 laps on weaved cotton, and 100 on English Bridle. I got to HHT 4.

So you basically did 200 circles, and 90 x strokes on the 8k all in all? This would be enough even after a 1k bevel set imo

Now I have to watch the whole thing, just to be sureps: I don't think I said "At this point in time" at all during it
On another note, I am having a heck of a time deciding which razors to use for this. I have a hard enough time deciding which one to use for shaving, never mind for an exercise like this one!
I think I'll go with my 6/8" Le Canadien in Snakewood and my W&B Bow Razor (the only one of about 5 I have that is currently active in my rotation, though that my soon change).
Both of these are razors that I have honed, from bevel on up, on my Nortons. So taking them to the 4k then the 8k should be fun, to see if I can get a better edge on them the second time around. I can also compare the TI to my black horn Le Canadien, which is the same blade, though it was finished by Maxi on his Escher. Then maybe a bit down the road, I can hone the other Bow I have that is pretty much perfect, so I can get a comparison.
Fun stuff! Good idea, Glen!
