You never lapped your hones?
No, I have an Atoma diamond #1200 lapping stone. My hones were lapped each time. Good first guess though.
You were polishing a turd. That's why.
Don't give up. An don't jump grits until your bevel is doing what it's supposed to: cut hair
I think a Thier Issard special collection new razor is not a turd. Wrong guess.
Your advice about not skipping grits is valuable but i didn't skip. My "honed" razor never passed the hanging hair test. keep guessing.
Razor was defective and was replaced by the factory.
Let me try, you finally sent that Limited Edition Thiers Issard razor out to be honed by an experienced, professional honemeister?
No, the razor was not defective alas.
I can see your sarcasm but no, if I were to hone a razor now that i found what the major issue was it would probably cut a hair in two if that hair was let to free fall on the edge. Well maybe not, but you get the idea.
Yup, That what I meant. You are going all over the grits, but you should have stuck at +- 1k level until bevel is set then polish and refine. You mention being almost there then moving on. There is a huge difference between there and almost there . If you move on to refining grits before you have a completed bevel you are polishing something that wasn't ready to be polished in the first place.
Polishing a turd is a pretty well known term in these parts... Jut sayin'.....
