Let's See Your Hart Steel Razors

[drmatt357]

Yes KW, I did consider that but the relative difference is still the same as they tape both.

But already I'm thinking in my head how I would hone this razor ( that I don't yet own) when I receive it (that comes with a great Escher edge) without tape. Then what kind of stone am I going to use and will I go to light slurry or all the way to water...

It never stops!

BTW, love those laminated scales Larry.

You can maintain it with some CrOx on a balsa strop...

Thanks, unfortunately and in true Hart scale fashion, they are painted and poorly at that. So I replaced them for a less poor pair ....

Speaking of Hart scales...I have a set of OEM Maple that I want to refinish with some sort of clear stain/sealant of sorts (do not want to change the color signifcantly). Talked to the guys at Hart; they had little clue what was currently on the wood (one guy thought it was a sort of wax??). Anyhow...any suggestions??

Watco Danish Oil! They have natural or with stain. Gives beautiful oil finish but this product hardens and seals. Apply liberally, wait 20 minutes then wipe down. Do this 3 days in a row. OUTSTANDING finish!!

Does anybody know if their Hart steel makes a ringing sound if you pluck the spike? I am not asking you to I am just curious if anyone has.

I added another Hart blade. It's a "Not a replica SR" made for Baxter of California. Once I take photos I'll update here.

Here's mine. 7/8ths by JA. Can't be too many of these in NZ eh? I know cleanshaved has one but that's all. Hopefully there's more of us. Scuse the crap pic...not really my strong suit.

How many Hart craftsmen are there?
