Thread: Crown and Sword ??

For sure M14shooter.. My question last night was regarding how I just can't seem to get my razors honed/sharpened beyond about a 6 on a 0-10 sharpness scale. I received great advice and see what I need to do.. Even with this blade only at that level of sharp I've used it a number times on my whiskers that run from medium to medium heavy. It has done an admirable job now and really looking forward to it being at it's peak sharpness.. Thanks for the response

Like M14 Shooter said, it's an Ern which is well known as a quality maker. It looks to be very hollow ground, possibly even bellied, so I would go very light with the weight/pressure on the hones. It takes nothing to flex a thin blade while honing which won't help any.

If were my razor I would rest the bevel on 1K or 4 K .Than do a progression up to 16K .After the stones i would do 80 Laps on Lien and 80 on Leather .If you have issues I will hone it for you if you wish .

I've got an old ERN, without the etching on the blade. Great shaver!
