Hi Gary. Seems like you nailed the honing on these. I am getting my new blade today. I am going to attempt something new this time. I have shaped a resin diamond plate convex. I was planning on only using one layer of tape, and hope the flat stone at the end will be able to get a nice clean edge. I can always jus add more layers afterwards. I will probably just end up with 3 layers, like my other blades:) On my 8/8 blades the bevel angle is better, so one layer is usually enough.
@@garyhaywood6013 I just honed the razor. I ended up with 3 layers of tape😂 I uploaded a video of how I honed it. I struggled a little to get a clean edge off my jnat's. So I had to do the last part with synthetic stones.
Happy birthday for Sunday gone ! 🎉. One day I'll get some hairy eye products! Depending on Trevors high ( Sci Fi ) spine I think tape must probably be varied . To be honest I've not re touched his damasteel....and I prefer his plain stainless steel, I'm not a great admirer of any Damascus steel , lovely lather, I like Yaqi synthetics , they just do the job.😅. And a 20k synthetic edge never disopoints. Both great razors 🎉.
Thanks Martin this brush is a bit to floppy but it definitely does a great job . Damascus is just fancy looking I think some guys expect the best shaver ? But in reality the plain razors are as good as it gets . . I just like the simplicity of synthetic honing I have a lovely j Nat that I like but I just reach for my 20k , I must be getting lazy . Not that often I do any honing these days unless I need to . My ti is finishing on my j Nat I'm tempted to use that this Sunday 👍
