I had an offer to send it away to get the bevel set, but I actually think I MAY be able to get a good edge on it myself. I admit shamefully that I used 1200 wet and dry wrapped around a hone to set the bevel. It still has a second bevel, probably from the spine wear; and now I’m using tape. I think when I get this shaving really nicely (which I will) it’ll be a really fine razor. I’m going to use NO other razor until this is perfect, so I apologise in advance for what will be a boring trotting out of photos of the same razor for maybe a couple of weeks…
