Thanked: 0Looking for help withnon visible microchipping!!
I respectfully request the opinions from members of this forum regarding dealing with non visible micro chipping of the edge which I can see using a Nikon microscope with 10X lens. I purchased a new Dovo Best Quality, Full Hollow Carbon Steel, 5/8” along with Norton 4K/8K water stone and a #12000 Grit Ceramic (Cream) Shapton water stone with the Nagura Stone for the slurry. I have watch Mr. Lynn Abrams CD a couple of times and I am using hot towels, bager brush, tablet soap, etc. I got a 2.5 inches cow leather strop (not the best one, but a Big daddy is on the way). I have used the pyramid process sequence using different sequences of repetitions with the 4k/8k and 12K stone. Yet, I can see micro chips on the edge and the blade cuts but it pulls. Also the nail tumb test appers slightly bumpy Also I have strop the blade prior shaving. When I shave the blade cuts the hair but it pulls and after a couple of passes I still do not get a smooth shave as I do with a commercial twin blade which I hope to stop using it them in the future. I realized my technique is not the best but I am learning. I hope to hear from some of you and thank you for considering my request.
A little frustrated, but eager to learn.
