Pedro, please, could you tell me what whetstones would you recommend me to use to refresh the edge of a razor blade between shaves? By the way, could you do a honing video using the yellow and Belgian blue coticules? ¡Congratulations for your work!

Hi Felix ! Between shaves you should be ok with just a few laps on a good strop. After a certain number of shaves I recomend you use the Jnat I sold to you. Same as I do on the final of this video. With a coticule the method is the same. Unfortunately I don't have much free time at the moment to shoot a honing video, but I can recommend a few for you to watch: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXqkmcaTos-ad8Y.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIx81aeNccTZocY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqNpvI9-dqqqcrw.html

Hello, how (what) do you use to flatten your Japanese finishing whet stone? Regards

Hello friend! I use a diamond plate to raise slurry , that keeps the stone flat. From time to time I check , drawing a grid with a pencil and lap with the plate until the lines disappear.. ;)

Please, could you tell me how do you know the bevel is set by merely looking through the loupe? By the way, does putting tape on the spine of the razor improves the cutting power of the razor edge? Do you use them when honing your own razors? Keep up your good work!

Hi Pedro. Why sometimes you use Nagura stone to raise a slurry and sometimes the diamond plate? By the way where do you get the Nagura stones?

@pedrotrust

Hello ! Usually I use diamond plate, its easier.. Works well.. Naguras are similar stones to the base stone, but not exactly the same, sometimes finner, sometimes not no much. They're fun and it's good to have options. Basically diamond slurry is the modern way to do it. Naguras are the traditional way. You can find naguras at: www.aframestokyo.com On etsy sometimes.. Ebay.. Particular seller on facebook groups.. Thanks for watching ! Cheers !

Hey Pedro, where did you get your shobudani stone?

@pedrotrust

Hi Douglas, I bought it from www.aframestokyo.com

Please, Pedro, could you tell me what is the brand of the loupe and of the folding knife? What I normally do is to hone one side of the blade until I can feel the burr, then I hone the other side of it. This video is the BEST I have watched about the whole honing proces of a straight razor. However, how can I know the number of passes needed before moving to the next stone?

@pedrotrust

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Felix, This is a good loupe: www.ebay.com/itm/333455891713 Easy to use.. You move from bevel setter, when bevel is set. No micro chips visible, and the razor is able to shave arm/leg hair without any effort. After that you move from grit watching the scratches from previous grit being replaced by the smaller scratches of the higher grit. Or by feeling, this takes some time to develop. But if you set the bevel properly the rest is easy. The number of passes on each stone will vary with many factors, as steel hardness, stone quality, pressure. Etc.. The knife is a japanese kiridashi folding knife. Can't find a link at the moment. Cheers

Hello my friend , sorry I missed your comment. Well.. Jnats are totally different than synthetics, your 12k will give you a good edge to shave. The jnat usually will give a more comfortable, smoother edge.. But it takes some practice to master. Your 12k is straight forward.. 🙄 Saying that, the higher synthetic i use is a 5k.. After that only naturals.. First, try an edge from a jnat and see what you think.. Thanks for watching !

Pedro, could you give me some advice? One of the problems I have one honing is that the blade of the razor does not stick to the surface of the whetstone, I don't know how to achieve this sticky feeling or why it is not happening. Could you give me some advice?

@pedrotrust

The Blade will only stick to the stone if the Blade is straight, a curved Blade will not stick, or almost not.. The stone is perfectly flat... And if the bevel set was done correctly. In resume: start again.

@@pedrotrust I have noticed that the blade undercuts the water as it also happens to you when honing, so that means all of the bevel is touching the stone. So, should I make more laps so as to feel the sticky sensation of the blade?

@@MrSilvestre587 Almost no pressure, plenty wet. You should feel the stickiness. Otherwise like I said, the blade is not straight or the bevel is not set, or the stone is not flat. Keep practicing and testing different pressures, different strokes, circles, x padrons, etc.. Will will figure it out. If it does not get sticky, but the blade is shaving hair easily, just test shave, maybe it's a great edge already!

Great hone.

Pedro, please, could you recommend me what brand of razors (not very expensive ones) should I purchase to practise honing them? By the way, why don't you use 3K Naniwa to set the bevel? I am now trying to set bevel using coticule and the blue Belgian whetstone to sharpen it, it is a really tough task but I feel I am improving little by little.

@pedrotrust

Жыл бұрын

Felix, get a few Gold Dollars from China to practice. I don't use a naniwa 3k to set the bevel simply because it would be a waste of time. To set the bevel the range around 800/1000k is the best compromise between time and results. Don't forget the bevel set is the most important step. Again, setting the bevel with a Belgian blue is not impossible but I would only try it if no other stone was available.

What is cross contamination? Dois It also applies to strops?

@pedrotrust

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Felix.. Cross contamination is when you spread one grit particle in to another step of the process (stone, razor, strop, etc) contaminating with lower grit, going backwards.. Imagine you are honing on a 5k stone, but your razor still got some 1k grit particules from bevel set.. Your going anywhere, basically staying on 1k thinking you're on 5k... Be very carefull specially with strops , that's one of the reasons I don't use pastes on my strops.
