The problem lies in the fact that my wife will not let me call on a friend of ours to come fix my computer so that it will let me load all of the digital pictures I have taken but now CAN'T even get on the computer because for some reason the computer won't take them now even tho it used to. The gadgets are conspiring against me.

    While normally I always recommend to keep SWMBO happy, have your friend come over and help you whether she likes it or not. If she questions why you did do so against her will tell her the truth; that you Needed to be able to use that Technological Terror known as a Computer as you can't use the F***ing phone to do what you want and that you couldn't even get on the computer to use it without your friends help.

    If that scenario ever played out at my house, I wouldn't need a divorce lawyer and all she would need would be a good defense attorney.

    Well, I gotta hand it to him...cudarunner was able to get this thing shaving nicely. Somehow managed to get a bevel set between the rows of pitting. Very impressive indeed!

    Thank You!

    Here's the links and post #'s to the razor in question;

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...orking-45.html

    See Post 441

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...orking-46.html

    See Post 454

    When the razor landed at the Boars Nest the pitting was far worse than the pictures had shown, I applied 6 layers of plastic electrical tape to the spine and went to my DMT 325.

    (Yes things get 'squiggly' with that much tape but I wasn't honing/I was trying to find good steel and not too much at a time)!

    Here's the Regime:

    (X Strokes with lots of pressure back and forth on the edge and Grind, Grind, Grind; Change the tape; Grind, Grind, Grind; Check the Edge etc. Once I found solid steel after ALMOST removing some pits and before entering others I removed the tape and used two layers of tape on the DMT to start to get the razor ready for honing instead of Restoration.

    There was still a very, very little amount of the last pit left so I switched to one layer of tape and started on the King 1200. Once the last of the pit was gone, the bevel was nicely set so I proceeded to finish honing on the Norton 4/8K and finished with the Naniwa 12K.

    All in all I'm pleased with the way it came out. It should shave for quite awhile longer but there is more pitting that more than likely get exposed with too many bevel sets.

    I'm glad that I was trusted to give it a go! :

    Yes, I saw those post's when they first came out. I just got a DMT 325 for lapping my hones but I have a few razors that have slight chips & pits & a couple frowns. That diamond should cut thru it quickly. Good idea, I'll have to try that. I might have to get another DMT 325, for razors & keep the other for my stones. I have a DMT 95 lapping plate but I just bought some DMT's from SRD. I also have the 600, 1200 & 8k but Lynn told me he tried honing with the 1200 & the 8k & that it was too abrasive on the blades, so unless I find a use for them, I'll be listing them in the classifieds.
