Need Help! I have a Hendkels Friodur 8/8 that is driving me crazy as well as making my finger go numb from so much honing. No matter what I try or do I can not get this razor to take an edge. I either end up with a dull razor or an overhoned razor that poops out as soon as you try and shave with it. I have tried my Norton 4k/8k along with my Belgian Coticule, a Jap Honyama Awase, Escher Water Hone, Leather hones with diamond .5, .25 micron paste, .5 chromium oxide. I have tried X patterns, pyrimids, small circles, front honing along with back honing, barber hones of all sorts. I may have met my match finally. I have spent quite a few hours of the last two days trying to get this sucker to shave right. Can it possibly be a bad batch of steel or maybe a bad heat treatment somewhere along the line. I do know that it is SS and suposidly some really hard steel. It seems like it does not take too many strokes to get an overhonned edge. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, before I give this sucker a toss.
