As usual, spot on analysis, great discussion. Every time I watch your stuff I pick up something useful. Failure tests are a good exercise, that’s definitely something I should spend some time on. Again, good stuff.

Thanks a lot Eric. I kind of have a loose system but most of it’s still a moment-to-moment kind of thing. Thanks for watching!

The honing struggle is real on some razors. I have a few that get so close but so far from what I want to achieve with them. Round and round we go. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah for some razors there’s really no easy answer. Steel quality is a factor but we don’t understand the quality level until the razor’s in front of us. What I can say in a broad sense is that if I use 5K, 8k, & 12k as my combination, I’ll spend more time on the 5K/12k & a lot less time on the 8k which I’ll use much more sparingly. Thanks for watching!

Great video Dev! I know what you mean about family not interacting with you but the second you press record you become the most needed person in the planet 😂 when it comes to synthetics I still think they are the best introduction for a beginner to get, this method might be of big help to those using synth. Cheers my friend

It’s like being ignored by the cat until you try to read the new catalog from Sharpening Supplies…🤣 I wish this could be broken down into more of a “fixed method” but it can’t. I would just suggest people use the pre-finishing stone very sparingly (8k in this case). Thanks for watching!

Spot on as usual Devan , why would anyone jump from 1k to 10 k ? I never jump from my bog standard synthetic progression , only takes a few minutes on each .... and your right with disregarding your video 🤣.😅. As I hate dodgy Chinese blades ,with their chips and unreliability. Again totally agree on overuse of microscopes...who needs headaches and wasting time . My cure for chiping is not to overhone a edge ( but i sometimes do 🙃) . And to dispose of bad razors pronto . Mirror edges are usually a bit to sharp , tone the apex on a quality natural ? gives kinder shaves without a pasted strop. Lovely informative video as always 🎉 Ps , ive had a few doubtful solingens as well , yuk , i need to thin the herd 😅

Unfortunately my fleet of good razors are running very very low. I need to take some action. Thanks for watching!

Hi Devan. Thanks for sharing. I was actually wondering the other day if jumping to the 12k after the 5k would work or not. Hope your week is off to a good start.

Yes, I’ll make that jump initially and then supplement that with a little work on the 8k. Thanks for watching!
