Oh my goodness John its beautiful 😍 i love mother of pearl scales , I see the normal useless factory edge ! 😢. ( it would wreck your face , they should be ashamed ).
The first time I rehoned it I did not use tape. The second time I used tape. The bevel angle might have been too acute. It did help when I used tape. The edge is now holding up well. The steel also took a nice edge. The geometry was also good. I always set a new bevel on a factory edge without tape to create the correct bevel plane from the spine to the edge. Afterwards I usually use tape to protect the spine.
@@garyhaywood6013 I am getting a new razor from Trevor made. I have specifically asked for it to have no bevel this time. It is a pain to correct the affect the belt sander he uses have on the bevel. You need to remove quite a bit of steel steel to iron out a noodle:)
