What did you hone today? | Page 713 | Badger & Blade
2011年1月31日 · Today I used kapton tape, reset the bevel on 3K Ouka, then 5k Rika, 8K King Gold and finished on Nakayama Kiita with light, misty slurry. Final passes on soapy water. Edge looks good and HHT was 5s all the way, toe to heel.
To tape or not to tape, that is the question. | Badger & Blade
2019年1月17日 · You don't want the tape gumming up the balsa. Here you might possibly paste a hanging strop but I abhor this practice myself and never do it. No reason you can't except that Slash says that sucks. Some honers are switching to Kapton tape from vinyl, with good results. MOST razors should NOT be honed with tape. If you don't know, don't use it.
Joseph Rodgers 'Star and Cross' microtome.. purchased in error!
2023年7月15日 · I used Kapton tape both sides, so as to put a miniscule bevel on the flat and use close to the original bevel angle on the front. Made sure it was cutting arm hair at 1K before proceeding, popping hairs at 12K very nicely now. Will see how this shaves before doing anything else. Suehiro 1K/3K, Shapton 8K, Naniwa SS 12K:
What did you hone today? | Page 702 | Badger & Blade
2011年1月31日 · Did two today. Wade & Butcher 6/8 and Red Imp 133 (Ludo). I used the same progression as yesterday - kill edge, kapton tape on spine, 3k Ouka bevel set, 5k Rika, 8k King Gold and then Jnats. Kiita for the W&B, asagi for the Red Imp. I keep alternating the finishing Jnats to learn their differences and capabilities.
Any info on this Imperial Warrented razor? - Badger & Blade
2021年2月22日 · LJS. Sounds good and you learned some. Go ahead and use some 3m electrical tape next time. Don’t go lifting the spine and start that bad habit. Sort of self defeating to use a thin kapton tape (this so keeps spine close to stone) and then lift the razor. Anyway you just don’t want to be doing that.
Hone with tape or without - Badger & Blade
2017年8月11日 · No tape for me, normally. I tape fancy spines, historic razors, and frame backs with 1 layer of 1 mil DuPont Kapton. Tape is a tool, I use it when it's needed. Another site recommends that new honers always tape to avoid spine wear.
Juuma Cobalt Blue - How to hone Yasuki/Hitachi Steel
2023年9月18日 · As the wear resistant increases you sometimes need a little more pressure to cut the steel effectively. If the bevel is to thin you might flex the apex off the stone. Getting a clean apex can be difficult if this is the case. I have a woolfblades razor that had a bevel angle around 14 deg. It was also really hard.

2019年9月7日 · Tape is used for two reasons. The main reason is To replace where someone has heavy handedly honed and took too much from the spine. So i can get to a proper bevel angle. Or use capton tape, that is very thin to preserve the spine from hone wear. I dont think anyone who knows how to measure a bevel angle would use tape to make the bevel too much.

2020年11月22日 · They are absolutely top tier shavers, and have perfectly ground full hollow blades. They can usually be found for much less than a minty Filarmonica 14 from the 1st or 2nd Generation. Thanks for that! I will definitely keep a lookout for a …

2016年10月7日 · Hone them with tape. The frames usually aren’t hard so I use tape even if there’s only one blade. Put a layer of 1 mil Kapton on the frame so it stays the same width and then you can hone and touch up both blades even if they’re different widths/wear.
