I shouldn't reply as it seems that it will only cause more uncalled for attacks, but since you asked: What I want is to not be accused of doing what I didn't do and intending what I never intended or...

? I'm confused. First off, you assert I don't want help. How do you conclude that? Because I posed a question? And then responded to posts? That's how academics behave and it's how knowledge is...

Yup, no arguments from me. I'll be finding out soonish; the test eBay blade is on its way.

Wait, you warned me?

No worries. I'm not claiming anything or jumping anywhere. If you've looked at my posts you'll also have noted that they were questions, not statements. Sharpening a blade is a technical issue and...

Egads, countless hours?! That's not gonna happen; too few hours left to me at this point! It's not really "my" new system, just a diamond wheel sharpener that I've had good experiences with. I don't...

I'd rather go with an inexpensive "good" razor, one with steel that can take an excellent edge. Otherwise the experiment wouldn't be persuasive. Older carbon steel with staining/etc for cheap is what...

I'd love to know who/how. There are knife sharpeners and there are knife sharpeners. The top of the line Chefs Choice WITH 15 degree bevel capability is a very persuasive device. Enough so that I...

Well, first I need to acquire an inexpensive test razor, as I'm not about to run the experiment on a new and pristine one. But once I have a nice carbon steel blade in hand I"ll definitely give it a...

So here's the question. Has anyone ever tried, with a cheapie blade, to do the blade sharpening in a ChefsChoice diamond wheel with Asian blade capability (15 degree bevel)? Seems to me that it...
