Thread: my first straight razor

here are the pics of my king cutter as it is now.

you can see some traces of the blue magic marker i used to check my bevel. first there are tow pics of the whole razor with the new mahogany scales and brass spacer (I will cut the screws off flush soon). the rest are the belly, heel and toe (in that order). I would love some tips. I havent tried honing since I last posted on this thread. Is the rolling X still my best bet?

also I am LINKING to another thread where I have two new razors. the sheffield isnt going to be a practice honer, but the cragg bros might be (unless its also too nice).

Thanks for reading,

Looks amazing! Great work keeping the blade etching in place.
