Before honing the kamisori we first regrind it and we needed the wrench to change the grinder wheel.

Thank you! With time it has become very natural.

Thank you!

Hi, I usually start honing from 5k. With all types of razors. I go to lower grits only for issues that require removal of significant amounts of steel, like warped blades, or large chips.

Thank you Bobby! I haven’t tried it yet with other types of scales.

You can straighten horn scales but due to the "grain" the process can be a little un predictable. I encountered a stubborn set of scales and even clamped them down and let them set over night but the grain fought back and I lost..

​@guysolis5843 i found this video cus of warped horn.ill try and hope for the best.

Hello Alan, I use an artificial progression ending with the Jnat as a final finisher. After that I only need the Jnat and a diamond plate to refresh the edge when the shave becomes uncomfortable. I only go to lower grits if I chip the blade and need to remove significant amounts of steel.

Hi Boris, I didn’t make a full honing video yet but they’re plenty of good videos out there and so many different methods to hone the razor. I recommend Dr.Matt’s video, he is great at explaining the honing process. I know when it’s time to move to next stone by the amount of steel I remove on each step, but that’s just my method. A simple method is to to check with a 60-120X microscope when you have removed the scratch pattern of the previous stone. Then you can move to the next stone or to leather strop.

@@ZenRazorJapan Many thanks for your response. I do use a microscope, but after all scratches are removed, and the blade stropped on both canvas and leather, it still does not pass the HHT. As a last-ditch effort, I resort to using pastes and diamond sprays, which I would rathre avoid. Any suggestions on how to improve?

You’re welcome! Assuming that you’re having a quality vintage razor with a good geometry, most common causes for that can be: too much pressure on the final stones, or the stropping technique.

@@ZenRazorJapan Tried to finish a razor on a Jnat with light pressure, then stropped on leather. Still does not pass the HHT. Could you give me some tips on stropping techniques? Thank you.

It’s difficult to say accurately without more informations, but the most common cause in these situations is the Jnat. Assuming that you have a good quality razor, a good honing technique and a quality leather strop, then the Jnat might not be fine enough to put a super sharp edge. If the Jnat is superfine, meant to be used as a final finisher for razors, then the cause might be one of the others listed above.

Thank you! 🙏🏻😊

I’m just holding it in position, without much pressure.

Mersi! 🙏🏻

excellent content, I’ve use a hair dryer too with success but boiling water works best. regards dapper shaves

Thank you!

E un “No Name” din Blue steel 2 cu 19$, inclus shipping 😄

The bright part is Hagane, the hard steel, the steel that cuts, in this case blue steel. And the grey part is the Jigane or the soft steel the wraps the Hagane. Hamon is the contrast between them

Thank you Darcy! I’m glad that you like them! The stone from which I cut this tomo didn’t had any visible stamps at the time. It was an impressive piece. The shape was irregular, but the fineness, cutting power, hardness, feedback, color, everything was perfect.

Hello Felix, This is my personal Jnat. The one and only: instagram.com/p/CjzxAiKpN4P/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= A full honing process is a good idea, but not sure if I can do it this year. I’ll definitely put it on my to do list 👍🏻 Normally I don’t use tape, except in some very rare cases where I have to remove a chip or the customer let me know in advance. To refresh the razor or when honing a NOS for the first time the wear is barely visible. Using tape is a personal preference. If you want to use it, then I recommend to use Kapton tape. It’s more resistant at wear than electric tape and very thin, does not affect the angle of the edge. Thank you very much! I’m glad that you’re finding my work helpful! 🙏🏻

Yes, leather only.

Just like the shave! ☺️

Thank you very much Martin! 🙏🏻

Thank you very much! 😊🙏🏻

Thank you very much Emmanuelle!

Thank you Carlo! 🙏🏻

I should make a video one day 👍🏻

Here it is: Nakayama Maruka 5+++ edge and scratch pattern under microscope (4K Full screen) th-cam.com/video/fcp3G4B9sFo/w-d-xo.html

Thank you Juan! I’m glad that this video was useful for you! 😊🙏🏻

Thanks for watching!

I haven’t tried yet with other materials, like cellulose, but some materials are harder to bring back the shape.
