Before I buy a DMT D8C, your input sought.
I am going to leave a few razors in the cabin.
At home I maintain them with diamond pasted balsa. But I want a simpler system at the cabin. i don't want to buy the gear, fresh balsa, fresh sandpaper, the spray glue, the naptha to remove the glue etc. The cabin's out in nowhere and a six hour flight from home.
I'm thinking just bring my new nani 12k and buy it a diamond lapping plate. Strop on leather every day and then lap and hone on my nani every few weeks to freshen the razor. Don't need to buy anything and it should last decades.
It would also be a nice experiment to compare to my home balsa system.
But is a DMT D8C the right lapping plate to maintain my nani in this situation? It seems so. That simple cabin set up should last decades.
Thoughts?
