    Hi there,
    You know.........I DO remember reading something about that a while ago. Hmmmmmm, where was........I think I saw the article in Scientific Digest. Yeah, that's where it was, but I didn't think much of it way back then.
    See, now that's what a forum like this is all about........exchanging helpful ideas you'd never see at most other places. Thanks also to 'Joke' for his valuable insight.
    What a bunch of swell guys,
    Martin

    This was a big deal in the seventies to use with your cartridge razors.....didn't work then either!

    Default Alright!

    I just made several pyramids and not a dang one of them worked! I am guessing that I was out of tolerance on my angles. I ordered a set of machinist's reference triangles and as soon as they come back from NASA precision calibration I am going to make a new set of Pyramids! I am sure that the 507.23 I have spent is going to pay for itself in honing time!

    Perhaps if you made the pyramid out of diamond.....?

    Yes, that's an excellent idea! diamond pyramid with a platinum base... that must do the trick... maybe the location could be important: I think that building the pyramid at the intersection of the Equator and the Greenwich Meridian will increase his cutting power and keep the razor sharper and longer!

    And size would matter too. I'd say... no less than 5km tall.

    Edit: Is this what Lynn means when he talks about honing using pyramids? Then it MUST work- he's had great success with it!

    I've found with my pyramid that you cannot get the full benefit from it unless your bevel is very good to begin with. Otherwise it could take weeks.

    Of course, you still need a lot of experience to use one properly and it is very easy to ruin an edge when first starting out. I'd suggest that if you are a pyramid noob, go get yourself a tuning fork (740 Hertz) and a home enema kit.

    I thought the enema kit was too obvious to mention... noobs.
