It’s hard to image how rough you have to be with the mail to break rocks, but they manage too. I had cut a very unique hone, and sure enough, they broke it. Ham fisted . . .

My theory is the higher grit we go, the thinner the fin gets. The thinner the fin gets, the weaker it is. So to avoid that it either needs less work or be fatter. To make it fatter, we need to...

Sonny, I often only go as far as the 10k before I go to a natural. I have a theory that the further you push the edge, and the more hones that you use, the shorter the life of the edge. It’s just...

I have more or less a time limit. I often wait and hone many in a series of sessions over two or three days. Whenever the needs to be honed box is looking full, or the finished restoration box,...

I often hone those old wedges in several sessions. After a certain amount of tim on one blade, I feel that my technique starts to get sloppy. 2.5 hours on one blade is a marathon.

The apex is the key Sonny. If you finish on very light strokes on the 1K and strop well you should be able to get a passable shave. I’m glad you have found your foundation.

I first learned my basics from Glens videos, then from a great guy in Edmonton, then from Glen, then from new and older members at meets. It is pretty amazing how you can pick stuff up in a flash in...

Yes,I can see when it is almost a set bevel and when it is a completely finished apex.
While looking almost straight on the point of the apex and using a decent loupe and a good light source, the...

There are far more varieties of modern steels than there was when Wooten damascus steel was the the king of steels. It is still a great steel when well produced, and it is far more showy. I...

Thanks Al, there are several big, old, beauties in there. It was a fun afternoon of honing.

My needs to be honed pile grew large.
There was some small chip removal.
A few full progressions, and a few touch ups.
There was also one that showed a chip after the 3K, and it went back...

Basil, a lot of people complain about that era of Henckels razors. I think the earlier ones using that logo are ok but the later production ones are as bad as Gold Dollars for reliability. The...

Dinnermint, Ireviously had one of those. Great razors, hard to find and man did I have to have a soft touch to keep from flexing that super thin grind.

Amazing scales Tom.

Nice kitty!

There is a sign in my friends very crowded shop
“If you can’t find what you are looking for, try looking for something else.”

The Spanish razors did not often stray too far from home, nor were there they made by the Kajillion, except the Filarmonicas.

Jamie you words painted a beautiful picture.

Yes, it is one of the hones that I shaped, but it is a rather new one. This one is different, I will pm some pictures. So far there has only been two of these shaped.

This is a very hard, very thin razor. It required a lot of time due the thin grind and no stabilizer. It finally shaves great.

Great coffee cup!

The last year my hone production has been almost nothing. All in good time.

They both are. The cedar for the boxes was locally harvested too.

What are you using for a blade holder? This little buggers can be difficult just because they are so small. They shave nicely though.
