You wilk need to show me some day Vic. I think i might have felt it but not sure. Id rather know than think!

BTW, what scott is talking about is the same therory of the micro bevel but much less....

This is some good stuff! Now if i can learn to hone with my Ham Fist lightly. Ha. Going very light on the stone can be tough on me. My hands tend to shake and that makes it hard to keep it on the...

Ive still never felt this stiction you talk about. Maybe im just not noticing or it doesnt happen on the naniwa stones? But thanks for the comment above. It does make sense. And that is what i live...

I've saved the pic and now trying to figure out how to put in on the desk top. Damn computers!

GOOD NEW... Bob and Vic... and all who have been following.

Shave test went well, I've been having a bit of comfort problems after my shaves lately. And by the look of some of those edges full of...

The bevels were set for sure. At least they were before I left the lower grit stones so I'd think they are fine. Popping hairs and passing the TPT. So its possible that its the USB reflecting light...

Maybe this will help. The ruler is in mm.278711
Damn, Thats small! Ha.

I tried to think about it that way and came to the same conclusion. That dont work. As on my screen the bevel is 1.25 inches wide. And you know its the same for you and me. I just cant see and have...

At the widest part the bevel is 0.75mm but most of the bevel is 0.5mm. This would be my best guess.

Here it is after I went back and did it again...Much better.

Purty huh!

There was still a tiny spot at the edge. So when i found another chip closer to the middle on the bleade i went back to the 2k and fixed it and at the same time took another bit of steal out. So...

I was wrong. Again! Ha. It was Rayclem not Bob that has the same microscope that I use.

Didn't realize back-honing takes you back. I was thinking it might straighten things out a bit more. HUH.

The test shave was much better but still not the smoothest shave I've had. Got a little...

Well, I'm not really happy with what the bevel looks like but as we know, that only matters to a point. So this final pic is after the repairing of the edge and going thru the progression back up to...

I was having an issue with my microscope of shinning spots of light directly onto the blade and made it hard to see plus reflecting light back up to the camera. So this is what I did to fix it....

There we go. Time to work on fine tuning then change stones.

I got my microscope working much better now and its much stronger than my loupe. And this helps me a lot sense my eyes are not really great. I had seen a couple spots with my loupe that might have...

I had a few minutes, well not really but... Went to the CR0X that I have on some zippy cloth. Got to get it on something else soon. Then went to a pile of leather as suggested. Just had my shave and...

Ill give it a try. I got a few that ill need to give some time on. Figured ill go back as far as 4k on one also. After killing the edge. Just to test the lower amount of time on the 12k. And with the...

So what told you that you were almost there?

A couple more days before i yet a chance to try this out but i will post up my f8ndings. Thanks for the encouragement and helpful answers all.

BTW, i dont remember who realrazors is, but he's one of us. CRS strikes again.

Realrazors on youtube just posted a vid that shows the chipping i hadnt seen. It hets stronger mag. As it goes and that was nice to see. The first couple views are what i normally see but the closer...

Thanks guys. I had a feeling this might be the issue. Its really the only thing that has changed in my honing. Thanks for confirming this. I have herd about the spine leading strokes but really...

I restore as much as possible and ive had a time of it at times getting the bevel set but have worked thru that learning some new tecniques. Ive learned to hone thru little steps from 1k, 3k, 5k, 8k,...
