If you're using a Norton 4/8 check out these two tutorials in the SRP Wiki honing guide.

Pyramid honing guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Honing - Alternative approaches - Straight Razor Place...

Welcome to SRP. From what I've read most members who try them like them. I've been checking the site from time to time and see they have added various wooden scales and a round point with jimps. If...

I don't think that will make a difference. Just successfully setting bevels and bringing ebay specials to shave ready is always good experience no matter what the blade grind or point is. The...

Thanks for the review of the Hart. Good to hear that it is working so well for you. All I know to say on the honing is that I practiced on used razors I got off of ebay that weren't in shave ready...

I would hate to be a razor vendor right now. :) Until this angle measuring thing blows over their phones will ring with potential customers wanting to know what the bevel to spine angle is on the...

Serendipity indeed :beer1: http://straightrazorpalace.com/strops/22461-interesting-article.html great old thread along with the article BTW

Speaking of prices, I paid more for one of Butch Harner's razors than for a Hart. It is a full custom with spalted maple so maybe we are talking two different things but based on the performance of...

I don't know if this contributes anything to the conversation... here are a pair of Zowada razors made by the man himself. They are dead on 7/8 and the spines measure .225. I am math challenged so I...

I invested it all in lots and houses ..... I won't say what I bought lots of or what kind of houses. :gaah:

Have you ever seen the saying lately that 60 is the new 40 ? Pertaining to age ..... well for a guy of 60 $100 bucks is the new $10 bucks.... referring to buying power. Kids pay that much for a pair...

There is no problem with replying to Tim's post in the vendor's corner if you want to get the thread going from there AFAIK .....:shrug:

As far as cutting the price, I don't think that the razor...

IME Will at Classic is real fair to deal with and I gave them a call to give them a heads up on this thread. Remember when there was a question on the quality of a Boker that a fellow bought from...

If layers of tape (even one) is what it takes it is a serious design error for Hart. I would hope that they would take a look at it and make the required changes in their future production to correct...

It is easy to change by breadknifing but not so easy to get the edge back afterwards. :D At least not in terms of hands on labor.

:OTI've never owned a caddy or a suit for that matter.... :) but I've owned a Ford Falcon with a 6 cylinder and a 3 speed on the column that was a great car. Also a Nova 6 cyl auto trans and another...

Not being familiar with what is out there today I would say a Ford Falcon or a Chevy Nova will get me there just as a Cadillac will. Maybe that isn't a great analogy but that is the idea I'm trying...

Personally if the razor 'delivers the goods' I don' see the price as being out of line. It is built start to finish by one artisan and I would consider it a semi custom. Go to a web site that carries...

If I had posted a reply with a quote of a previous post included and then the OP announced to the forum that he had 'deleted the offending post' out of respect for the OP's wishes I would then delete...

To me nuances of grinding are in the eye of the beholder. Like you I prefer a more artistic, for lack of a better word, style in a razor.

That isn't the deal breaker for me, it is the geometry...

Yes a +1 from me too. The geometry issue is my problem with them .... assuming they are all basically alike. Being a semi custom I wonder if mparker762 had say three of them by the various artisans...

In the advert I thought it said that it was finished on an Escher ? Thanks for the preliminary to the shave review. I look forward to hearing how it shaves and all the rest.
