i have here a quite old Henkotsu; so having got the rust off, and it being my first razor
i put it to a jnat non-name half-stone from the bay [with 330mate stamps, a woodworkers sharpener]
slurried a bit with my 'mystery' nagura [ie, not-Asano-but-nice] to see what i could see
under magnification there was one area where it was microchipped out, so i flatted the Shapton Glass #500
using for the first time a iWood #300 diamond plate from Stu, seems good to go [actually im impressed]
so .. after a session on the SG ive got past the damage
but now i see that the entire tip area seems rounded, meaning the front 5mm of the edge on the hollowed side
[omote?] wont be getting sharp unless i remove a lot more metal
the ura [stamped] side microbevel looks ok
i dont really like how it feels on the Shapton tbh, i think im going to soak my Takeda combi benchstone
a thirsty beast
