What did you hone today?

[caccia]

A Rodgers with nice grinds and thumb notch with little hone wear.Lots of detail went into these old beauties.It shaves good too!

Jerry Stark 7/8 finishing up on a Zulu Grey. Getting her ready for (hopefully) a new home.

....and while the stones were out, a 6/8 Thiers-Issard "LeDandy" with these ridiculously cheesy scales! I gotta grt these replaced.....

So I finally broke down and admitted that my King 1K was not getting my razors sharp enough. I picked up a Naniwa 1K yesterday and reset the bevel on my Joseph Allen with it. I then gave it a nice corticule finish.

This mornings shave was the best shave I have ever had with that razor. I love the fact that the Naniwa was splash and go since I have never been able to keep my King wet enough

2 NOS Solingen razors

6/8 Bengall. Always dependable. No trouble at all.

This was not what I honed today.
It was yesterday ok. So I had the afternoon off and I got a new Hone few days back. So a bunch of razors just had to get the business.

I was curious if C135 steel would make the Awasedo cry. Nope hone won.

Sheffield Thomas turner and German wester brothers. Each received bevel correction on dmt 1200 with 200 laps on bbw with coticule slurry and 100 laps on coticule with water and 100 with mineral oil.

Interested to see what would happen taking a Coticule edge on this True Pipe to an Aloxite Superfine #200 synthetic:

It worked surprisingly well and really brought up the sharpness without becoming too harsh or clinical.
This is an experiment I'll definitely repeat.

I love that coticule , dymaxion.

And yeah i could never soak my king brick enough it stopped drinking. I think water just fell through it top to bottom.

My King 1k is in the bucket 365 days a year. If it dries out it is because I forgot to drop it back in. My last King that got too thin was always in the bucket for at least 6 years.

My first go with this setup of stones and put a very smooth edge on.
Very nice Honing sensation off the Nakayama. Velvety smooth with a tomo slurry.
Bevel had been set previously and the razor was in good shape beforehand. Very happy with both of these stones.

Beautiful stones.

Thanks David

My pocket knives. Razors will be honed next week probably.

Schumacher and Son Schumacher's Best.
Set the bevel on a Suehiro 1200, then went Soft/Hard Arkansas.

 

[David]

Nice setup you have there. I bet the colors in the soft ark really pop when wet don't they?

Thanks, and yes, they do.
On the lighter end there are little bits of red/pink and brown. It's a lovely hone, and it cuts pretty fast.
HHT on the Schumacher is very nice, but of course, the shave will tell all. Tomorrow evening. I need a bit of growth for it.

Monday's shave was great, Tues. and Wed. just meh (close, but not comfy). So I touched up Thurs. for tomorrow:
