Then again, this is all from me looking at it with indoor lighting with the naked eye.

Well, I got a pretty full beard. It's like sandpaper when it's just stubble. I bought a razor from a guy here at srp that was sold as shave ready, and it was sharp. I've used feather de blades...

You mentioned the 105...I'm going to venture out on a limb and guess that's the razor in the picture you're talking about. That was gifted to me by my father, but I don't know much about it other...

I appreciate all the input. This seems to be a one stop shop for answers about my hones. A recurring theme here seems to be to not put the shoulder of the blade on the hone. There's no substitue...

All were originally acquired for use on knives. Maybe I've mistaken the slow-cutting action and smoothness of them for higher grit. Is it possible to get different results from a hone if you lap...

Looking at other posts here at srp, it might be a 4k or better. Maybe it cuts fast because I don't use it with oil?

I hold them in my hand and find it uncomfortable after a while because I can't move them around. It kinda helps me concentrate on honing, though.

On a different note, I contacted the customer...

I've since fixed the problem with the edge, with these hones no less. That's why I don't have a picture of it. I guess I could go back and do it on purpose but it might happen the next time I get...

I think the frown is just the way it's sitting on the desk. It's pretty straight when I look at it. One's an india oilstone froma gun show somewhere and the other two are razor edge stones. I...

Here's a picture that shows the size of the...

But even with a shoulderless blade, eventually the spine wear will become uneven as you can't start the pass at the EXACT spot every time. And if you have narrow hones you will get a small portion...

Maybe I'm just thinking out loud then. Those shoulderless blades are looking better and better...

I meant pics of the razor, but I see that you catch my drift about getting distracted. Anyway, you can see the episode on the internet on the discovery channels site if you want to.

If I could get all of the honing done before I got distracted, I wouldn't have this problem. It's just that shows like prototype this have giant boxing robots that catch my eye. I'll try and get a...

I think beveling the edges would only avoid the chipping, but not the portion at a different bevel. But that would only remedy the symptom of a symptom of the problem that is I put the shoulder of...

It happened to the razor I was honing today, but it has happened before. I'm pretty sure my hones are flat as I was able to fix the edge after I caught my mistake. I lap them before every use, too....

Sometimes, if I'm not careful, I find a section of the edge that has a different bevel on it. It's usually less than half an inch wide and sometimes it has a chip in it. I think this comes from the...
