My first post in this thread.
This morning I received this mandarin #18 straight razor with a frown. It must have started his life as a 8/8”
I have made some photo’s of the spine and as you can see both sides Needed some work, after that I straightened the edge with a 320 grit diamond plate at a 30 degree angle.
The toe and heel will need some more work later, first I wanted to see if we could get a decent bevel.
Bevel set with a Naniwa chosera 800. Thumbnail test confirms a good bevel for honing.
