Thank you for a great video. I created a 2 meter (~6 feet) diameter cylindrical plate. I reshaped narrow honing stones and used them on some of my razors with good results. Like everything with straight razor sharpening there isn't one method that is perfect for every razor and every face. You need to find the optimal use of the stones for each razor. In my experience for some razors it can make a huge difference .

Always a great video ☺️, I've two of Yurri's razor's , great steel . Also I've used 4 or 5 concave bevel blades on the Jarrod plate method, (not done by me ! ) Love to see a test done you ? I find it's inconclusive so far , when it works on one razor it doesn't necessarily work on another ,it's a difficult complex method ...but when it works well it's amazing.....all the best 🙏👍.

Beautiful Cardinal - I’ve got a 12/8, and she’s one of my favorite shavers of all time. The extra-hollow grind and steel take and hold a wicked, comfy edge. Yurii’s razors combine amazing value and top-tier quality, as I’ve experienced with all nine of mine!:)

Very nice Razor. I can see as to why You perform the Jointing at the 4 or 5 k stone, it makes sense; some People do it on the Final Or Finishing Stone, but it makes sense to do it on the 4 or 5k because those Stones have more bite. Although You may not think so, what you are doing is a Art and it takes time to develop skills and knowledge to have Good Results, The People who get (Pi$$ED) at the things you do should come to the realization that what You are doing is a Craft or Art; and I am sure that many will fall back and watch you’re Videos and say ‘He was Right’. Good Work Dr Matt.

Hi Dr Matt As you seem to get great edge on the razors doing a progression in man made stones then finishing in a micro pad or cream, Have you or could you get the same edge using natural hones , The reason I ask` I have a number of natural hones,washita, Hindoston , Thuringian , several Belgium conical , Black hard Arkansas , Turkish stone, several Charnley forest ,Llyn idwel , Japanese naturals ,and some hard slate hones, When using washita Hindustan charnley even some of the belgium conical they still leave scratches on the bevel and some times i notice micro chipping be for I even get to my Japanese naturals or my Arkansas, this beginning to grind me down as I think a lot of the naturals have inclusions that are causing the chipping and excess scratching plus its hard to know with theses naturals which ones are leaving the heaviest scratch pattern,because they look so similar,

@trunkerdixon

A convex hone is wasted on a wedge unless you are trying to make it into a hollow ground blade. The reason it's used on hollow ground blades is that the idea is to thin the blade behind the bevel to make the entire edge more flexible, which also makes it more forgiving. And you can tell this as it sings more in use too. My wedge blades are silent whisker assassins. Honed with tape on the spine to create that angle on flat things. Horses for courses! T

When both wedge grind and hollow grind razors were made in one factory during Victorian time, the factory would have both flat (or very slightly concave) whetstones and convex slate/novaculite honing wheels. The bench stones were used for sharpening the wedges, and the hollow ground razors were honed with the wheels. Wedge grind razors were never meant to be honed upon wheels during the peak production era, I very much doubt they'd benefit, and the razor would surely earn new grind marks between spine and rear of bevel for the attempt.

For viewers like me, who watch your videos on large tv, it would be nicer to see you filming the honing in normal horizontal format. For me there is no point in watching in vertical format. Even on a phone you can turn your phone, however I can't turn my tv. About convex honing, why all the hassle? The first thing that you DrMatt could do is test shave with two identical but differently honed razors and see if you can spot the difference. If all the straight razor shavers in this community have the most awesome shaves from top quality synth or natural stones, why would we go through the trouble and cost to get a concave bevel? Only because Jarred has a book which mentions rounded hones? When you do the math, a 1000mm radius (Jarred's dimensions) on a 16° bevel angle on a 1mm bevel gives a 0.000125 mm or 0.0000049 inch indentation on that bevel. Good luck noticing that on your cheek. I say buy a nice quality finisher and stick to flat honing. It worked for centuries for the Japanese with their kamisoris and for Westerners with a straight razor. By the way, when do you hone or shave with a Japanese razor, kamisori or folding razor? For the rest, as always, a great video! Kind regards, Paul, Nijmegen, Netherlands

@Paul J I’d recommend that you never try to shave with a razor honed on a crowned surface. It takes a bit of work to do. And, even though the techniques at hollowing final bevels were cataloged by a German blade craftsman in the 1840’s, it is unlikely you would ever have any chances of noticing the same improvements in shave results that I, and a number of professional barbers have.

If everyone got such a fantastic shave from a straight razor then they'd teach it in schools right? But it's not that easy. It's a skill and takes practice. Natural or synthetic stones - your choice, but if you then choose to convex the stone, it'll not cost you more than you paid for it originally will it? There's no more cost associated with it at all. i like to weigh my razors before i hone them, because i like to cover up my stupidity with science and i noticed that after honing on a convex stone, my razor weighed 0.000008g less. And 98.7% of statistics are made up on the spot. i can see why i married a Dutch woman now. T

@@thesuperiorshave Hello Jarrod, Please forget the math, I understand your explanation of the radius of the 1m also touching the spine and in effect narrows the bevel angle in addition to a rounded indentation to the bevel surface. I do appreciate that you own and did not write your mentioned book on convex honing. I guess subtleties get lost in my not being an English native speaker. There are countless ways to get a sweet straight razor shave. The www tells me to cork the edge, or pull the edge on filt block, I need a worn out 400 600 1200 Atoma, a 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k, 8k (wait, no 7k?), 10k, 12k, an Esher, a Black Arkansas, a Coticule, a 20k SG, a 30k Shapton, Mikawa Nagura for a progression on a Maruka Kiita, I need one layer Supper 88 or three layers Kapton electrical tape on my spine, or no tape at all because the razor is a tool -not a piece of art. I must use circle strokes, X strokes, short strokes, long strokes, rolling strokes, leading and trailing strokes, some go 200 strokes on a 1k, others go 5 strokes on a Nakyama, I must use running water or submerge my stone but but too long or I risk delayering -so I must use hand milled cashew lacquer, then I need to strop on micro cloth, balsa, Crox, diamond paste, paddles, hanging strops -sagging or taught, firehose linnen, Cordovan, Suede, jeans, newspaper, and hand palm. I need a magnifying glass, or better, a metallurgical microscope. Next I must perform a HHT 5 on a hair from my girlfriend. I need distilled water, microfibre cloth, handpicked badger silvertip brushes, and homemade artisan soap preferably from WV, I need to microwave my lather but also to shave on cold water, I need pre-shave and aftershave, hot and cold towels, and last but not least, of course, I need a $3000 NOS Iwasaki Tamahagane razor. And now I must concave my bevel… If I don't have or do all of that, I am fucked...!? Do see my point? Trying to be cynical here, not judgemental. I respect your work and videos Jarrod! It's all good, man. No hard feelings. Kind regards, Paul
