At last a good bevel with Naniwa 3K
After much trial and error I finally got a good bevel set
My first one with any straight razor
Started out just wanting to touch up the edge on my Bengall 5/8"
It's a full hollow & in great condition with very little hone wear
It had gotten dull and started pulling a lot
Shaving with it was painful to say the least
So decided to try refreshing the edge
A great reason to get some time on my new Naniwa SS combo stone, a 3000/8000
Lapped both sides on a DMT 325 plate following gssixguns method
Grid lap to smooth then redo the grid and lap again
Seems to work really well on these hones
Taped up the spine of the Bengall and started the process
Made a slurry on the 3K side
Tried several sets of 20 circles on a light slurry from 325 DMT
Couldn't seem to get the bevel
Set the razor aside and went reading up and watching honing videos
Lost track of time as we sometimes do
Had to call it a night
