As a 100% disabled person, I request these stones as a gift from you, I would be very grateful if you send them as a gift. Please, I would appreciate it if you could give a positive answer, thank you in advance. Best Regards, Abdullah Menevse 🙏🙏🙏
this is a tool I use regularly to make my living, and I don't have a replacement. They're hard to get as you see them here (that's really why the manufacturers don't bother using them, sourcing for a consumed good).
Very interesting the wheel concept! So does that also tend to put the edge in a slight frown? Trying to picture the blade sitting long ways along the wheel and the physics behind it. The other curve along the shot axis makes more sense to me. Thanks!
Certainly, the need to get a sweeping action across the hone is a bonafide requirement w/ an elliptical wheel. There's another video on YT of a fellow using his convex 3x8" Ark and he's very good at doing that nice even sweep. With a cylindrical wheel, flat on that imaginary rim we're using, using a cylinder feels left to right across edge no different than the flat hone. But your edge shape will NOT be an isosceles triangle - you'll get the better (for shaving) shape - you just must give up that point-on-point feedback if you want to make it never-a-frown easy, as well as when you use an ellipse you essentially have a smaller imaginary wheel(s) at your immediate disposal, this can be a big advantage on a worn razor. Once you try it, you're not likely to use a cylinder as the ending, in my opinion. That said, I am personally going to a 2-step process, bevel-specialist and finisher-specialist. You don't need lots of steps with the convex. For my bevel setting I will choose to use a cylinder, and throw away that max keenness, just to make is super easy to get all new steel showing across that which I will then take to the finishing/lightest pressure step (that has difficulty creating a frown, whereas it's easy on step#1 and an ellipse). I did find avoiding frowns a very mild challenge over doing this 4+ yrs exclusively to my own razors and a very-slightly-elliptically-but-close-to-spherically-shaped pair of Arkansas from mid2016 to mid2020, since July 2020 I switched to the much more elliptical shape, shaves improved, I didn't find it harder to keep away frowns...but I did have 4+ yrs of point-to-point style contact already under my belt. It is time for me to do a show-and-tell vid of opening up my razors that live at my shop and have been honed only on convex since mid2016, I think they'll show unique wear but nothing special for frown bias. Our human eyes are super duper sensitive to that stuff, and you can go nuts peeling off steel to get that line nice and perfect, but what you've really done is moved steel, all of it, closer to the spine - I am of the firm opinion that that is a last resort and I delay that approach whenever possible, as I don't think the razor with perfect line will shave as well as its former self +1/64"-1/32" wider with a thinner and slightly meandering (but not 'slightly' to our human eyes) cutting edge line.

Awesome thx u
Great job.
I just bought one to see if I get an improvement over my 8k and my other 12k
