- In this video I repair micro chips and refresh the edge of a 5/8 Tosuke Kamisori on this softer yet super fine Aiiwatani Jnat.

It’s my first time seeing a Kamisori being honed, and i must say that it was masterfully done!! Your skills are phenomenal!!
Thank you Ridwaan, your dedicated support is appreciate GREATLY! Regards Jacques
PS: I believe Toots shave it this morning. Matrix is running optimally 🤣
Sensei. The matrix is working optimally even though the IG plug in is down temporarily 🤣 just goes to show the connection between the Guru and his disciple. I’m so surprised to see that this razor was honed on only the Aiiwatani. It shaves beautifully and the edge is very smooth and comfortable. In fact it’s Better than ever ! Thank you also for taking the time and effort to do this video. It gives a newbie Honer like me great perspective ito what is required to repair minor edge damage and edge refresh! Bless you!
Bless you
I'm not a honer, but I'm am half tempted to try and your tips and experiences are fantastic. A great tip on not relying on count but feel. Definitely will take some time to master the craft. Thank you so much for the very educational videos, Jacques! Have a wonderful day.
Hi Jacques! Very nice training video about honing! That little thing you walk over stones with what is that! Have a great weekend!
Hi Robert, It’s a diamond pocket plate of 1.2k. Traditionally you would use a peace of stone (same or similar) to produce the slurry, my preference is to use a diamond plate. regards dapper shaves
@@dappershaves Thanks you!
What are you feeling for when you make those multiple short strokes on one side?
how the bevel is cutting and hitting the stones, the Sheffield steel is softer but with a finer structure.
@@dappershaves I see! Makes sense. If possible can you describe what sensation you feel when you feel it cutting the way you want? I’m hitting a wall with my current honing technique so I’m now entering my experimentation phase 😅 Enjoyed the video and your previous one on mental health. Loved the suit! Very wise advice 🤍
@@seff2318 Essentially I know from experience how sheffield steel feels on this stone when cutting a unset bevel vs set bevel. Moreover when I refine the polish and slurry breaks down the feedback changes on the stone. There’s a distinct difference in feel/feedback … friction paradox
The Friction Paradox
Imagine a cube of heavy, polished stone with its downward flat face resting on the level, flat surface of a larger similar stone. Let’s say it takes some specific measure of force pushing horizontally on the stone cube on top to overcome the static force of friction between the two stone surfaces in order to make the cube start moving.
If I gradually increase the degree of polish between the two stones and measure the force required to start the cube moving at each progressively higher level of polish, we will find the force decreases with each increment of increased polish, at least for a little while!
However, at some point, more polishing brings the surfaces of the two stones into such intimate contact that the molecular attraction between them, and therefore the force necessary to move the cube, actually increases!
The Inflection Point
The same phenomenon occurs with razor blades. If you sharpen and polish past a particular point, the friction/vacuum during the cut between blade and stone will increase, while the resulting quality of the cut and longevity of the cutting edge will not improve significantly.
The inflection point where additional polishing yields increased friction with little improvement in shave quality will be your guide. You will get pretty good idea of where it is if you pay attention to this rock rubbing paradox - you will learn to feel the inflection point… “ feel the force”
The lamination of steels began as a cost cutting measure and often, because the high carbon steel was rare, it was the only way to make more razors. That is no longer the case, obviously. It is still done for the artistic look and to stay true to the history of blade making. Cheaper kamisory are now not laminated and are made of homogenous carbon steel.
thank you for the feedback and additional information, much appreciated. regards dapper shaves
