It would be cool to show some micrographs of the edge after 1 shave.

Thank you for the very interesting review! I did not know that these cheap razors existed and now I will also order one. Apart from bad steel, it could also be that the edge has been "burnt" by the machine sharpening at the factory and that you are making a bevel on fatigued steel. Cutting part of the edge off straight into the stone and giving it a third sharpening could perhaps reveal better steel.

Hi, Thanks for your support 👍 It could be indeed a bad control of the temperature when forging indeed but after recrewting the bevel twice, I won't do it again... But you might be correct, it could "maybe" be solved with a third attempt.

You are of course right, there are a few good gold dollars, ive tried a few ( probably over a dozen ) but apart from learning purposes, i wouldn't shave with them , its like polishing a turd 😂 . You make wonderful informed videos ❤. (How could you put a crappy gold dollor on a kanayama strop , if the horrible edge failed ,as it will ! You'll scratch that priceless strop 😂)

What is your expectation of a good steel razor? How many shaves? What maintenance steps?
@FroggyShave7 ай бұрын
It's unfortunately very variable, depending on the beard type, usage, maintenance, etc... But I'd say it should easily last 30-50 shaves without impacting shaving comfort.

I cut into my strop😢 is there something I can do to restore the cut? Kind regards, Mathew
@FroggyShave6 ай бұрын
If it's a very light cut, you can use high grit sandpaper. If it's deep, unfortunately I don't know any method to fix it. 😔

Hello mr. Froggy, I have a question. Can you already shave your beard without stropping the razor after honing it? kind regards, Mathew

Hi Matt, Technically you can but it's not very pleasant... It's definitely more pleasant after the strop 😅
