Eh, this one wasn't it. I just refreshed that edge, but it pulled ATG. Back on the to-hone pile it goes.
I remember I've had trouble this razor before. Something about it makes it difficult for me to get a smooth sharp edge.
Swedish steel tends to be harder. I’d be interested to know what the sharpening/bevel angle is on that razor :)
I'll get the calipers.
Given our recent discussions and the agreed-upon approximation we could get away from the angle discussion and use to the thickness/width ratio going forward. No irrational numbers involved here, just a caliper and rule
Exactly! I'm going to try to explain this in an upcoming video, but, so far, my explanations using simple geometry and trig, haven't been well received.
It made sense to me when you explained it, and I have a public school education!
