I honed my CVH No.6 on a vintage 125x60 and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Noel

Says the master of boxes
Have you seen many of Scott's boxes lately? He's got it figured out. He's making some super nice stuff.
Wow! I have to agree. The hone, box, and razor combination makes for a beautiful set!
Yeah, that stone is quite a looker. Did you make the box?
Started honing these 5 great specimen, but then realized I would need to get the dremel out to reshape the heel on Terma, and that I would need to get the wedge back on the dmt get the bevel correctly towards the last 3/8 of the toe. I only did the other 3. All finished on lapping film, I'll play with the ozuku next time when I'm in less of a rush.
Beautiful specimens: Congratulations
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
My parents came over from France for Christmas and muled for me a few razors. One of them was this Le Grelot #76 ("La perle des orients").
I honed it on a synthetic progression: DMT 600, King 1K for bevel, followed by Norton 4K, Norton 8K, King 6K, Shapton 12K, Shapton 16K.
For the finish, I tried 2 new agates I found today in a shop downtown Santa Cruz.
Both stones did not do much after the shapton 16K. So I used first the orange agate and then tried again.
It looks like the pink is a bit thinner than the orange. About same as the brown one. The purple however was even thinner.
The lines it left are similar to the ones the linen side of my strop does.

Same routine as on the Le Grelot 76 on that TI Ram and Wolf.
Except I used the Naniwa 10K instead of the Shapton 12K.
