Soviet rasors NOS - Impossible to take a beve,l or it is just me?
I bought these two Soviet era straight razors. They were made in the 70s and never used.
I tried to hone them with poor results. It seems impossible to eliminate the double bevel that I see with the magnifying loop.
I used the Nortons 220, 1000, 4000, 8000
The problem is I cannot create a decent bevel with the first two stones.
I am not the most experienced person in honing, but I manage to keep the rest of my 20 straight razors in excellent conditions and create a decent new bevel when needed.
Does anyone know anything about these kind or razors? Are they indeed impossible to accept a bevel, or the problem is me?
I am thinking of sending them to a professional to hone them, but I don't know if they worth it.
