    I'm really enjoying seeing this process- making, testing, remaking... thanks so much for sharing, Farid & Paul!

    Update:
    All blades are now heat-treated and slightly scaled down in size, I am having lots of fun with these experiments, all in the name of passion for creativity and to be able to offer a high quality razor.
    thank you

    That's just not true.

    This is what I was thinking also but my knowledge of metallurgy is sorely lacking.

    The Search function is your friend. Mostly I don't want to re-type everything.

    In brief: some steels (high alloy materials, chromium-moly alloys, not low alloy materials e.g. high carbon low other alloy stuff) will show a benefit from cryo treatments. If a low alloy steel is correctly treated, cryo is not necessary from a practical point of view.

The actual angle (degree) of the bevel is the same for single or double bevel razors if the razors have a spine or honing contact point of the same thickness and the same distance from the edge of the blade.

    In the Japanes style razor posted, it's an 8/8 with the hone contct at the halfway point on the one side of the razor. This means that at that point, it should have the spine thickness of a 4/8 razor, which would be somewhere around 1/8". If it does, it will have the same angle of bevel as a 4/8 standard hollow grind with a 1/8" thick spine.
    Thank you. The illustration is perfect for me to understand.i am no longer one that thinks that.
