Thread: Too Sharp

Okay nothing wrong with two razors one shave. I have played with many more during one shave testing edges. I also like to use multiple soaps...mmhv.

I chose this razor cause it has a thin spine very hollow ground small bevel gets develishly sharp as in too sharp and has caused me grief in the past.

I breadknifed it reset the bevel 1k Norton, then 6K King, 8K Norton, then PHIG with Escher slurry, then Escher for about 10 passes just wet. It was cutting hair at 1K.

It was really sharp at 8k and before I stropped it was tossing HHT out the window hair fragments everywhere. Stropped and Shaved left side of face with normal prep and IK for soap.

It was too sharp. No surprise. Not damaging but I could feel the blade on my skin unpleasantly threateningly. Took the razor to 3 passes on balsa crox then 60 licks on the shell strop. Smooth as silk lingerie on her creamy white thigh.

Lesson learned 3 strokes on crox before the strop from now on.
