Sorry about that I am still working on how to accurately show .9deg of offset in MS Paint.


What about pasted strops which produce two curved, intersecting surfaces?
And calc 101 should explain...

You are correct. This is all that I was saying. I didn't want to get into the math of it. In my first post I just said technically there is a bevel, just at an angle different to the expected,...

This is what I am getting at with the "angle of attack". On the top you see a single, normal bevel/edge/whatever. Lets say it forms a 150deg angle with your skin (arbitrary, I don't know what angle...

Look whatever. I will cede on grounds of experience.

So how is that different from a bevel form by the intersection of two faces at different slopes? It still forms an edge/point. Just at a different angle...
if it shaves on one side that means there...

This is impossible. Please draw a bevel with only one edge.

Mathematical stuff:
Even if one side were curved, at the microscopic level it will approximate a straight line. (definition of a...

I will bow to your experience but I had a couple razors where I did this and played with the angle and will shave at a steep angle in one direction and a shallow one in the other.

How else would microtomes and japanese razors work?

Holli on the left is your pic. If you but rotate it a couple degrees one has a nice tip with the equivalent of a double bevel on one side and a single bevel on the other (middle). A quick geometric...

Since it is mathematically impossible for one side to be sharp and the other not (not gonna go into this though) what I *think* may have happened is you honed one side more than the other, and so the...
