Barber video.honing and shave

[Disburden]

Hi all

Not sure if this was ever shared before but I found this video on you tube today. Not sure if anyone here can translate?

Stone seems to be cuticle with oil
Pasted stroppy seems to be dovo red and black paste?

He also hand strops like Livi

 

[Gamma]

Interesting.

Some seriously steep angle near the end of the shave!
Thanks

Here's another video where he uses the pastes.

The bars look like dovo

It's pretty much what I expected to see It's a high use tool to him and he treats it as such. His floor tiles distract me in the 2nd video. Make me wish I had a Q-bert machine...

 

[Disburden]

Qbert was great.

I wonder what he is saying, especially about the pin in the cabinet.

 

[David]

Neat videos. Looks like he's using a lot of pressure on that coti.

 

[Disburden]

He must use the coticule as an edge setter and then refines on the pastes (dovo?).

I find the hand stropping only, interesting

 

[kcb5150]

If you watch videos of livi he seems to lead into every stone he touches with pressure and each pass he seems to dial it back some. Idk what his logic is as his blades are so thin. Maybe both of them are trying to create an intentionally convex bevel, idk.

Both of them use enough paste on the strop to paint a doghouse

With a knife, it would be like using a slightly finer stone as you use less pressure. I don't hone yet though. So cannot say with certainly.

Any translators on the forums?

You can see the considerable frown on the narrow razor at the beginning of the first video. Looks like the result of pressure on the coti and stropping technique.

 

[Disburden]

I didn't see a frown I thought that was just the light playing a reflection.

The thing with the pin is him explaining why the hone has a metric butt-ton of gouges in it. That baby was rode hard and put away wet.

 

[Disburden]

I wasn't sure if he was explaining a hardness test or not, with the pin. What are those pins for? I always have so many questions when I see these videos and the best ones are always in language I don't understand.

 

[eKretz]

It's just a random pin for illustration purposes. Pretty sure he was just explaining how the gouges got there, didn't actually do it himself. Somebody apparently used the stone to grind narrow tools or hooks or scribers, etc. gouging it in the process. That's why there's Arkies! And pressure control.

My wife is Italian but can understand Spanish a little.
He is telling you about the hardness of the stone with regards to the pin and how it gauges easily

 

[Disburden]

I thought it had something to do with showing the softness/ how hard , of the coticule.

Thank you
