Hi folks,
Since my unexpected (and probably undeserved ) success of my first dulicot attempt I've been playing around with different razors on my La Verte coticule... I made another successful dulicot attempt (again on an old full hollow ground Solingen razor) but on my new Burgvogel Solingen I only got a HHT 1 off the stone. Doing unicot raised it to maybe HHT 2 and after stropping on linen/leather (60/60) the razor got to HHT 3ish (just). OK, can't win 'em all ...
Then I tried my old Le Grelot (1/4 hollow ground and very hard steel): dulicot: HHT 0 (just!). Another try: HHT 0. Then I went on my Thuringian: HHT still 0...
Then, I stropped, more for the fun of it, and after the linen I got HHT 2-3 ... And after the leather a good HHT 4...:w00t:
Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance
Jörg
