Thread: Rolls Razor blade honing

I have not honed my Rolls yet but when I was doing the clean up & measurement checks etc, I found that I will need 3 layers of tape to get the closest honing angle to match the blade to the hone whilst in the Rolls,
this is allowing for the slight clearance gap between the hone & the spine of the blade so it can flip.

I would recommend you doing some similar checks for your blade & when in the Rolls also. so you don't change the honing angle if possible

Thanks Substance, I was actually thinking about this very thing yesterday as I am going to resurrect one of the few I have in my cupboard.
