Joe,

Every time I feel like I'm doing pretty well with my honing, I pull out a razor that I bought from you and study the edge with my microscope. I'm still amazed at the bevel you put on this thing.

Would you mind answering a few questions for those of us who aspire to someday be honemeisters? (This is not to slight the other honemeisters out there; I only own one honemeister razor right now, and it's Joe's.)

So you get an eBay razor with the usual rounded bevel and shallow nicks. After cleaning it up, what do you reach for? Could you describe for us how you rebuild a bevel and how much time it takes you?

I have a million questions, if you have time to answer them.

Thanks,
Josh
