first go

I sent the blade of my first razor away plus 3 knife blades today for heat treating ,bet you can`t guess what I going to work on first when they return
It`s nothing fancy ,just a plain round point with a bit of file work above and below the shank for grip. I hope it dosn`t warp it is a very light blade
Anyway I will keep you posted on how it goes
I`m starting to get a handle on honeing now ,this part of the hobby has been a constant frustration to me since the word go spending days and getting no where I believe the reason was I was using the wrong grit size because I didn`t know what the were so after trawling back through the old files some light has been shed on the subject, anyway I finished two tonight both handle the hanging hair test ,no worries. (The only trouble is I havent much hair left on my legs and arms and am some what folicly challenged around the head reigon ,as we say here ,Bugger All) ;)
Any way I will have another go tomorow and hope I have the same success :D
Kind regards Peter

That's great, be sure to post the pics as soon as you get it. It would be nice to see it in raw, prefinish phase too... Gluck,
