- this razor's long-ago discontinued, but they are very nice and you should try to find one if you're in to straight razors
happy shaving to you all!
Love Jarrod honing vids!
Hi Jarrod, what if you use pure oud oil to hone on instead of balastol.. that would smell lovely, maybe just a bit pricey, though 😂.
You just showed what I hope to be doing tomorrow on my new Bismarck, and yes... there is a small but noticeable curve to the edge as you said it a previous video about Dovo. Thanks for constantly producing interesting and inspiring videos and to the anonymous gentleman who got me interested in the "film on a stick" method. Regards Johan
That curve/warp, and it is really small, but it is always there, always the same direction, follows all brands. So, I think it comes from forging/steel production, and is unavoidable. Not much to be worried of, I'll take the wider slightly less flat Bismarck vs the looks flatter and definitely less wide Bismarck any day, all they did was carve out a flatter piece from inside the dimensions of a less flat and larger piece. Either the rolling-x or a hone convex along the length, or just a really narrow hone, are all good workarounds, and you get the wider razor.
The man's "film on a curved stick" is ingenious, I must say! Glad u like it.
@thesuperiorshave Couldn't agree more. As you say, it is really miniscule and definitely not something I am the slightest worried about, and I would go for more, thinner width any day of the week.
This looks like a less intimidating way to get it done. Is that small first hone always in contact with the spine?
It is soooo easy and fast with the diamonds, too fast honestly. But speed is a heck of a compelling honing siren song, I'll not deny that.
There is some merit to the statement that diamonds and manmade waterstones should not be used to completely overcome the bevel on a straight razor with a convex stone, at least not at the principal diameter in effect here (6.5') with a flush spine...you will inevitably make a burr and then burn off the little 'burr bit' and make a nice clean apex with all of it super concave behind.
BUT, if you could've stopped the diamonds-at-6.5' step jussst before it overtook the actual edge, you could switch to slower finer stones with longer diameters and overtaken the edge WITHOUT a burr, thus leading to a wider net razor leftover, however small that variance is.
Yes, until I could come up with a shape with a diameter so small that you would not have the spine flush, you would always keep the spine flush here. I'd like a shape of about four feet; you could set in the 'back' side of the bevel with the spine flush, and then add tape as you got near to overtaking the edge. That's emulating the wheel of yesteryear if you think about it.
