Hi Guys,
I've been honing for a while, but just wanted to give Lapping Film a go as an alternative.
I have bought a Sample Pack:
3M Imperial Lapping Film 40 Micron (Blue)
3M Imperial Lapping Film 30 Micron (Green)
3M Imperial Lapping Film 15 Micron (Grey)
3M Imperial Lapping Film 5 Micron (Brown)
3M Imperial Lapping Film 1 Micron (Yellow-Green)
3M Imperial Lapping Film 0.3 Micron (White)
I have a few vintage razors where I need to start from scratch - set the bevel to finish honing.
Using the above, what would you suggest to start with and progress through?
Presumably the 40 Micron (and 30 micron)? would mainly be used just for removing nicks and when needing to remove a lot of metal?
Can I still use tape?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
