Well after I posted that last night I decided I’d better tune her up. She had a good bevel, just dull. A few passes on an 8k diamond hone, some time on an old barber hone, and some stropping and she was sharp. I shaved with her this morning before Sunday meeting and I’m pleased to report the whiskers are gone and no blood was shed!Byrd wrote:Wade, to have to report back and let us know how good a shave you get with it!
I’m going to fine tune it a little more, but it shaves really nice. That full hollow grind blade is no joke, and being a big ol heavy blade you sure enough don’t have to push it. As a matter of fact, it has enough momentum she could get away with you if you let it.
All in all I’m real impressed. A nice smooth easy shave! Very nice! Thanks again Byrd!
