Shapton Pro Synthetic Progression 5K, 8K, 12K | Honing

You are a true a true straight craftsman. I only visited because we share the 1st name. I am sticking to DE safety razors, but appreciate the Stirling reviews you also posted.

Thanks for watching! I enjoy my DE shaves but I've been really into straights and honing recently.

Lol the bevel is uneven because uou were not straight during honing. I made the same mistake! But you did 60 strokes on 5k so my question is it was a refresh or did you set the bevel with the 5 k? Excuse if I ask you but I made 12 strokes if bevel is set and 35 for a refresh. 60 or more if I want to set a bevel. Really set the bevel with the 5 k is very long!!!! But people like it!😮

If it does not shave well it could be geometry. Watching the undercut and looking at the scratch pattern & bevel width under a loop would likely help determine an issue.

I think geometry is part of the issue. The bevel is a little uneven on both side but I'm trying to work through it. It cuts really well through arm hair so I'm keeping at it. I'll give up if I can't get a part of the edge sharp enough but this one seems like it has potential.
