Hi all,

I was honing my 7/8" round tip Solingen yesterday and at first I couldn't get decent bevel on it. I was setting the bevel on Naniwa 1000 but I had no success. It was constantly failing TNT. So I took my small mystery hone and raised slurry. The difference was fascinating. I did total of 20 circles on each side (10 short and 10 long) and 50 strokes (diluting slurry after every 10 strokes). It was cutting hair really nicely off my forearm. I repeated the same procedure on every grit (1000, 3000, 6000 & 12000), with additional 30 strokes on only watered C12k. Later I stropped it with 30 passes on CrOx and 50 passes on leather. Hanging hair had no chance against that blade.

Shave was really comfortable, even after long time I managed to shave ambidextrous, WTG and XTG only with no razor burns.

I really can't wait to give the same treatment to my other razors.

So, any of you did something similar?

Cheers,

Rob
