Thread: My pipe razor

Can you post a picture of how it looks now?

here is a pic before 320

What was your progression?

I've only done two so far so I'm far from an expert but just make sure you spend the time to get all the scratch marks from each grit before moving up or you'll spend the time doing it all over again.

I start from 80 grit depending on if I need it than 150,220,320,400,600,800,1000,1500, and I can't remember what my micro mesh grit lvl is but I believe is the highest is 20000grit

If you weren't starting to see yourself in the razor at 1000 you moved up too soon somewhere. At what point did you ad a wet agent and what did you use? I started wet at 400 and just used water with baking soda in it Because I was inside.

I had this after 2000 and Maas

That's what I would like to have indeed and I never use wet anything its all dry

I would use water or WD40 works well, but that is with wet/dry sandpaper.

you can use windex too. But as to the original progression. It is usually safer to start at a medium grit, and if you are having a hard time remove as much material as you want, move down. If it works, then continue the progression up as you have already done.

going down to 80grit would also be much more harmful to full hollow grounds as compared to the grind on your pipe razor.

Y does it make it easier to get the sandpaper wet I was curious
