Flattened my stones, started at a Bester 1200 to set the bevel, San Aoto (3-5K, much harder than normal Aoto's), then on to a Yaginoshima Asagi with slurry, Chinese 12K and then to my Ozuka Asagi. ...

I tried shaving with it, I guess I didn't hone it enough, it was pulling constantly. Back to the hones, but at least the crack is fixed!!

Thanks! Honed it up, ready to try out! Just won 2 ebay auctions tonight, one full hollow and one near wedge and I have a bunch of stuff from SRD coming in this week as well!!

Got it done! I decided to kinda do a straight point, but bring the edge point back in a touch and I will round it off a bit to make it a bit safer. This way I can run the very end close to my ears...

I've ground metal before, so I am OK with that part of it. Just wasn't sure if it was worth it to lose some length of the blade. I don't think it's anything special or high end/collectible, would...

May do a rounded toe or straight toe? If it can be done and not hurt the blade, I will prob go ahead and do it. Very Very little hone wear on it at all, everything else looks good.

I have an old razor from my great uncle, it's just labeled "MAGNETOSTEEL" or "MAGLETOSTEEL". It looks a little wider than a 6/8, round tip, but there is a crack in the edge up the blade around 3/16"...
