Thank you gentlemen. It was more of a first trial run that didn't go too badly so I decided to keep it. Good enough to show the basics and I wanted to have something out there soon without learning...

Thanks Victor. Another thing I didn't do quite well on the video was compensate for the skipping. If you feel that the wheel is skipping, it's giving an uneven finish. In that case you have to go...

Just letting you gentlemen know that I have a very rough unscripted video ready. I'm trying to convert the MOV file to AVI and have it down from 80MB to the manageable size of 10 or so. Unfortunately...

It may be best for all of you unsure about doing this to wait for my short video-tutorial. There is a good chance I could have something rough and dirty ready by tonight.

Josh, that's exactly the issue I'm talking about. You can't get the wheel flat on the face side, near the stabilizers, without the wheel rotating into the edge because the tang is interfering with...

Lou, when the wheel is rotating away from the edge, then it can't catch it. In your case, I'm sure your wheel was rotating into the edge when it caught onto it and damaged that beautiful piece of...

You have it right Josh. The shank of the wheel is parallel to the spine of the razor. With my rotary, it's when the tang is pointing to the right that I'm having trouble cleaning the stabilizers and...

I have the wheel rotating perpendicular to the tip-tang axis, away from the edge. The razor itself is lying flat on the work surface (unless I'm working on the front portion, the spine and the...

Thanks for the warning and sorry about the W&B Lou. I actually even go over the edge itself but only if the wheel is rotating away from it. You can do about 90% of the razor with zero risk to...

Just do it slowly. I actually go into the edge when I'm cleaning the stabilizer area and enough of the heel part to put the wheel down flat.

On the back side, I have no problems as it's fairly natural. On the face side, the first 3/4" or so of the heel has to be sanded with the wheel rotating into the edge. That's very dangerous and you...
