Got this little Tonsorial Gem by E.A. Clauberg off ebay. Cleaned the blade then honed it on lapping film. This was my first honing attempt and I am extremely pleased how it came out. It was sharp and gave a great shave! I can honestly say it was the best SR shave Ive had. Part of that is probably because the blade is extremely thin, much thinner than any of my other SR's. I guess that would be a full hollow ground?Attachment 150922
Well double congrats. New razor , new skill :<0)
Yes full hollow is about as thin as they get. here are some pics a few line down. >http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwi...straight_razor
OP sometimes you just trip over a great blade. I've discovered a W&B near wedge that is one of my favorites. Used it today just an awesome result. I think you get more satisfaction from honing your own razors. It's a lot of fun.
10pups nice aviator. I liked that tutorial link you posted on blade profiles. Thanks.
Nice! Congrats! I like it!
