Groan! :gaah:

PS Does stropping realign anything? If so, I will use the word fin to describe that part of the bevel that is normally realigned during stropping

Doesn't it take quite a bit of force to roll a razor edge on a strop? More than you use when shaving, surely

Here's my analysis of your analysis of the analysis of the fin question:

PS I think you hit the point!

and that's why this thread is in the advanced honing section,no doubt!

If my razor has a W edge is that a double bevel?

Maybe different people are using the same word to mean different things. A V bevel is a good thing, a Y bevel is probably not so good.

this thread needs a poll attached :)
