Hi to all. I am new here but not novice in world of stright razor shaving and honing. Come from Croatia, active on www.brijacnica.com (Croatian forum dedicated to straight razors and little bit active on SRP and B&B). Once more time, greetings to all members of coticule.be and especially ti JimR.
OK.
Recently I bought J.A.Henckels 7/8 straight razor from e-bay. It was NOS and not shave ready, but guy that sold it to me try to hone it out and did not have luck so he decide to sold it. As he told to me he try to hone it using Norton 4k/8k pyramid with electric insulation tape on the spine.
So my questions for you, much experienced honers are:
1. Is it possible to set bevel just using Belgian Yellow Coticule stone or I need coarser stone for doing that job (I have Naniwa 1k stone)?
2. How to deal with fact that guy before me using insulation tape (I do not want to use it in early phase of honing such bevel setting)?
All sugestions are welcome.
OK.
