I do my best to enable... I mean share. That 2x4 is so small i dont know how you managed Pete. But props to you for giving it a try. Im thinking i need to find a larger stone for myself in the...

That is another option. And thanks for the comment on the arm hair test. That one kinda bothered me. I will be headed for the water room in an hour to get ready for work. So I will soon be finding...

Like I said I was going to do, I killed the edge on this razor, went back to the 2k thru 12k making sure every step along the way was as perfect as possible. Then went to the Trans Ark with some...

I put some more time on the Trans Arkie. Used some tourque to get some work on the very edge. Did a test shave this morning and i didnt notice any more keenness. Shaved about the same as the first...

About to sit down for the evening with my rocks. Thanks for the confidence Mike. I know i will get there. Its a long slow trip. At least i know this nowadays. A couple years ago i just couldnt...

The Kapton tape can be used when bevel setting but at 1k any tape will break down. But i feel this stuff hold up better that electrical tape. The problem with it is its not streatchable. You if your...

Ray, im not so sure i really needed to do 400 laps. That was just a guess but i think it was close. I had taken the razor to shave ready off a 12k so it was not in need of anything really. This was...

I was a bit surprised at the feel of the Arkie edge. Some natural stone give a feel to the edge that I can only explain as a rubbery feel. I know, this dont make sense but its what I get from them....

Last night I sat down to do some honing. I had 3 that needed a little work on the edge. Not going from a restored razor, just in need of some microchips removed and cleaning up of the edge/bevel. I...
