Thread: First e-bay razor :)

Yeah the magnification is 500x so it probably looks worse than it is. Nevertheless it could do with some more honing if say. I am waiting on my belgian coticule which should be here soon so maybe that will give it a nicer edge. I'll post another pic when I give it a shot. What do you reckon from the magnified pics though? Does it look like normal steel? I kinda think it does but I'm no expert.

Looks like normal steel to me, you probably need to set the bevel you can do that on norton 4k, just dont leave the 4k until the razor shaves arm hair easily, then you can move on to 8k and so on. The reason im suggesting the 4k is because some razors dont respond well to norton 1k and cause micro-chipping.
