I will bring my stones to RazorCon it you want to try them out before buying them.

Sorry for being :OT but that gave me a great opportunity to share one of my favorite tunes :rock:

Gotta test shave: Not good :( The razor was just as sharp the others, but quite harsh and I got some burn.
I'm starting to think this razor maybe don't go well with the LM?

I'll try it with a...

Tested two of the Heljestrands today, one finished on LM and one on a vintage Thuri. The one finished on LM was honed on Chosera 1K, Shapton 2-10 (I think, it was Blix that honed it), the one on the...

DaveW, have you tried finishing with a light slurry instead of water? Some have earlier in this thread mentioned that it keeps the keeness and removes the harshness that way.
I have had no problem...

Had a small honing session toghether with Amund (Blix) today, honed a few razors and took some pics along the way.

I learned a few things today:

1. I need to make some sort of jig for my USB...

Why? There's nothing wrong in taking a perfectly good razor to the stones, lots of us do it all the time :)



See my post from yesterday, I will post pics from a full progression saturday, I...

I'm not sure yet as I have only done three test on three different razors so far, a Gotta that I took from Norton 8K to the LM and a vintage Dovo and a W&B where I used the DT between Naniwa 8K and...

Re-honed my Wade & Butcher smiling wedge this weekend, Chosera 1K - Naniwa SS 3/8K before I took it to the DT.

Starting with a medium to heavy slurry, diluting to water doing 10 strokes between...

I got a shipping confinmation from eBay.

I'm pretty sure the 3 stone set is more than 1kg, considering the weight I don't think it's too bad, just my opinion.

I am going to do some comparison testing soon, but from the two tests I have done so with the LM so far, the results seem to be at least on par with my vintage Thuri.


Tested on my full hollow...

Absolutely, if it hadn't been for the freaking mailman that decided to end his week on thursday and not deliver any mail to me until yesterday I would have had the stone in four days :)


I was...

I found the dual stone to be big and heavy, and I do prefer single hones so I decided to try to split them up.

It was fast and easy, I poured a little bit of nailpolish remover (aceton) directly...

My DT/LM arrived today, and of course I had to test it immediately.

Honed up a vintage Dovo 6/8 half hollow I got a couple weeks ago, set the bevel on Chosera 1K, then Naniwa SS 3-8K before I went...

Thanks, I think I have a bottle somewhere.

Interesting...what kind of oil do you use? Might need to try this when I get it.

Looking forward to get my DT/LM, after reading your experiences I'm really exited to try it out, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow, I've also ordered a USB microscope to do some visual comparison...

Okay, you bloody enablers have triggered my HAD (not that it needed much :p)

One dual DT/LM ordered, hopefully it will be here by the weekend :)
