Well, I first tried to refresh the edge with a 8k-12K but I was not successful. The razor was also sent to a well respected honemeister from this forum but it has not been the same compared to the...

I probably did not explain myself very well. I set a bevel at 1 K. This is followed by a pyramid progression with Naniwa water stones at 5 k and 8 k, then I use a 12 k to finish it . From then, it...

Yes, I think you are right about the type of steel. I set the bevel with a Chiosera 1000, well lapped. I usually don't have a problem with setting the bevel on most of my SRs. I did refresh the edge...

Ok, as promise, I will upload a few pics from my day at Livi Cottelieria...

I only have very short video clips and photographs. Mastro Livi encouraged me to show videos of his work, he told me he wants to prove to everyone he makes his razors from scratch :D

Yep. That was me (and my father-in-law who came along for the trip). I enjoyed seeing him in action and being able to explore the "Razor lab" where you find all sorts of interesting materials and...
