This one just wasn't feeling 100% so I put it to the HGH.
Its feeling much better now

Beat up auction-site 1/2 hollow Torrey, micropitting, rust, chipped, etc. Full reprofile and bevel-set on that Coticule. Will finish the edge on the same stone tomorrow.
A little touch up for the new (to me) Revisor and an early Torrey (linear tang stamps).
A few laps for each on the Naniwa 12k followed by the pasted balsa progression and then clean leather. Both are now sharper than sharp. Shave test for the Revisor tomorrow.

Honed this Joseph Smith today.
Closest thing to a true wedge that I have tried to date.
The toe and heel had no bevel so I started with the Norton 1k and progressed through the 4k, 8k, and the Naniwa 12k, all with two layers of tape. Then, just because I usually do, I went through the pasted balsa progression after removing the tape. I'm not sure I expected it to do anything since the edge was developed with tape, but it to seemed incrementally sharper after each set of 60 laps. In any case, stropping on clean leather left it popping hairs at 1/4” so I can't complain.
Have to wait until Tuesday for the shave test since tomorrow's Micromatic Monday.

Neat razor.
Thanks. We'll see Tuesday if I did it justice...
Bevel, bevel, bevel....
Just got my first ever Boker in today.
I was thinking that I’d try the factory edge but then decided “nah”
So I broke out this Aiwatani and started with a Tomo slurry but I was having some trouble with the toe on one side and the heel on the other.
I decided to try a heavier slurry from my worn out DMT. Was finally able to get it where I wanted then went to the Tomo. Looking forward to tomorrow mornings maiden voyage.

Took the Ko-Deba for a spin on Kaisei-do also.
New symmetrical grind Kamisori style razor came in yesterday afternoon. Wasn't popping hairs like it should. Honed it up this morning for today's shave. Naniwa SS 1K, Norton 4K/8K, Naniwa SS 10K, JNAT, and my small diamond sprayed felt strop. Popping hairs now!
Honed this freehand today.
Spine off the stone. Treating it more like a knife. Idk, the geometry may be so out of whack on it he rolled the dice.
