Thanked: 0Default edge size Vs. stropping touching area
Hello,
I've just gotten my Dovo Forestal from the retailer. I've noticed that the edge is really narrow, about 1/3 of a mm.
Moreover while stropping I could see that the trop touches a much wider part of the blade.
I know straight razors never comes ready to use and needs a good strop to be ready. However, it seems there is much more work to do because basically I am stropping (or honing) a part that doesn't have the same angle as the edge. Am I being clear?
In other words, the angle of the default edge is more acute than what the strop or hone can reach
Hope people can help me with that
thanks a lot
