So when will the whaling and gnashing of teeth commence?
So when will the whaling and gnashing of teeth commence?
As soon as I gets me harpoon honed.
I am being serious. I spent a fair bit of time on the Krystal yesterday, going back to the DMT600 to reshape the heel a bit, and then started my usual progression.
My summary is that this is a pretty crappy razor!
I would not even compare this thing to a GD, as there is no comparrison.
The bevel angle is less than 14 degrees, which doesn't help matters at all. And the metal does not come around to a nice edge very easily. Which is why I indeed was impressed with the result you managed to achieve.
I'll work on it again today and see what comes of it.
Compound bevel. Hone normally, no tape. Then...
Two layers of tape on the 1u film, 40 laps. Refresh the tape, 1ufilm over wet paper, 20 laps. Refresh the tape, .5u diamond or CrOx on balsa, 30-40 laps. Should gitter done if anything will. The too-small bevel is one place where tape can be of real use.
