Oh it's been sitting but that's so I can cool down and go at it with a slower pace. All the honing was to see where the top of the bevel was at. It's impossible to see without some sort of shine...

Well as it turns out I had to sand and hone and sand and hone about 4 times to get it this close. It was the thickness of the blade near the bevel and not the spine. I got a 180grit flap wheel and...

Well I have been looking at it and measuring and looking and I think what it is is that I haven't gotten all the old wedge taken down enough. At the spine the difference in thickness is .005 narrow...

As I let my digits heal from all the hand sanding I put some tape on the spine and went to the 250k stone a few laps and then the 1000k. As I suspected this was NOT going to be a simple job either....

Okay well... I put a few hours into it today. I started to hone it like Hirlau suggested. In the pictures above you see what looks like hone mark and edge but that is actually what is left of the...

Well the scales are cracked bent and flop around in the breeze and will have to be fixed at some point. I would love to give it a hone a try it out but wondering if that will increase the chances of...

I saw it and it was Buy Now $26.00 . My trigger finger never had a chance to itch. Boom it's on it's way . LOL

I missed a couple of older razors and my rad had me going in this direction for a short time. I bought 2 this one being the first. I figured it would need some work when I bought it but I am not sure...
