Thread: Tripple bevel

Guess I'm gonna have to give that Genco of mine another go.....

If I didn't have quick bevel-setters (DMT 600, chosera 1k) then I think I would have added another layer of tape and worked on the edge, rather than the shoulder of the old bevel.

Regards,
Neil

Seems to me that you just learned why the razor had the double bevel in the first place somebody didn't want to take the time, or perhaps waste the steel to re-set to the old bevel, what does the spine look like ????

Interesting, please post the photo of the bevel set and what grit stone you used.

I did not set the bevel yet, I received it like that.

The spine has honewear. not that bad, but bad enough.

Yes, depending on the overall appearance of the edge. In this case one side is fine and good to do with one layer of tape and the other has the double bevel but not all the way.

Sounds like a good idea....my Genco is currently my favorite out of 23. "currently " it tends to change up.

I think a lot of people have multiple bevels on their razors, a condition which they didn't want or even realize they had.

Just bad honing.

A razor with a warped spine will have a bevel like that if one tries to hone it flat on a wide stone.
