Lets make some honing videos.

Where are you guys starting with these razors on your LL's in those videos? I don't think I've ever started Dilucot with a slurry that thin. That's what I'd typically use off a 4k or so stone.

Damn that's a nice LL, David.

That's such a noisy stone but i love how it looks! Squeaky razor too

Need a shave and I'm tired of shaving off arks, so here's a Jnat finish.

I usually make a thicker slurry. I had another video that was 16 minutes long that wouldn't upload, so I just made this one mainly as a test. Still took an hour to upload. Is that normal?

You should hear the stone with half strokes....squeaks so bad the coyotes start howling.

I think some camera formats require a long time for youtube to process, but that is a long upload. A 5min video is usually a 3-5min upload for me. You're not on satellite internet are you?

I was using the hot spot on my iPhone last night for service..that may be the problem.

Here's a quick touch up on an old boker with an Escher

Thanks man. That was in natural light. I ordered a new light kit that should be in next week..hopefully it will work well for this.

I think it really all depends on your upload speed and the quality of the video. My short 6 min clip uploading in 1080 took around an hour and a half. I think next video I will just upload in 720p. I guess we could screen shot the speeds off speedtest.net and compare speeds

There is the slow upload problem...

I'd say since mine looks like this(this is my phone results that i emailed to myself as i can never get the screenshot to work on this stupid note 2):

Here is a video I made a few days ago for a member here including the photos of the blade as seen a 600x in the microscope.
The photos show a quick progresson from 2k to finishing with 2 fresh tomonagura slurries. I think that the second slurry added a few larger rogue particles that made those deep scratches seen in the last photo.

Great vid. Thanks again Alex.

Yeah great video Alex ... I think this really shows how technique can really overcome the idiosyncrasies of some of the razors out there

Thanks so much!

Really nice video Alex. Thanks for posting it.

Another Great Video Alex!
