Bruno demonstrated his edge trailing finish grinding at Charlie Lewis' razor making meet last week. Probably another good idea for avoiding edge on impact.

I am going to try this on the next razor that I make. If the edge on impact is the problem, which I suspect it is, then this should eliminate the damage. Might be a while, work and taxes have...

Just posted this on another thread but it is appropriate here too.





The third picture at the site; https://jendeindustries.wordpress.co...razors-part-1/ shows some chips at the same places...

Hmmm. I just finished making another razor. When making a razor, setting the first bevel can take some time and I know that many makers use diamond plates 'at this point in time' figuring that there...

At the time I decided that I would have a hard time describing what the mechanical properties of the situation are, since that is part of our quest. Without hands on type knowledge of honing I doubt...

I think I see why I'm not having these chipping issues. I tend to be somewhat light handed and I was not really noticing all of the posts saying "pressure". Even setting a first bevel on a newly...

The more I think about this subject and how to test for it, the more I realize why there is no consensus on what is actually occurring.

I will have my metallurgist brother read this exchange when...

OK, so I agree that a deep stria from low grit anything will result in a notch on the edge (can we call this kind of notch something other than a chip, because chip, to me, means it fractured) . I'm...

Your talking about brinelling hardened steel past yield like what happens with the stamping. This takes pressure in the range of 100ksi. The thinner the edge is the more difficult it would be to...

Thanks Euclid.

The first statement is the thing that is non intuitively refuted with SEM images at "The science of sharp".
Not saying that your statement is wrong, until yesterday I would have...

Nit picking here. When I see "chipping" I think of a brittle fracture. I think people, me included, often use the term to describe a notch in the edge. At the 100x level of magnification I think of...
