    In this context, "dialed in" means that it was honed properly. A bad honer will just do pretty much the same thing with every razor and because each razor can be unique, the honing may or may not be suitable for that razor. A good honer will adjust the honing to accommodate the razor to get the best performance out of it.

    The term probably came from (I'm guessing) something like turning a tuning dial on a radio to get the best signal. You turn the dial back and forth to adjust in reaction to the static and sound quality until you find the dial position that makes the best sound.

    Okay i havenīt got the chance to test it yet but it seams like the guy who sold it to me hone alot of knives.

    He told me the knife have been honed like this:

    Naniwa Superstones och Escher as follows: 1 000 (bevel setting) - 3 000 - 8 000 - 10 000 – 12 000 -Escher- Strigel

    Since Iīm new with striaghtrazors i donīt know to much about it. But I thought it sounded good

    Default Bengall

    Acording to GOINS' he estimated 1748-1953 that Bengall was orginally a touchmark assigned to Luke Cadman of Sheffield. From 1906 to 1953 it was used by T.R. Cadman. My guess is 1840-60.
