There is a bunch of crazy factors that come into a straight razor.
Thickness of the blade Height of the blade I made one and had no idea of any of these #'s , I used a 10" wheel , it was a damscus blade and I put a secondary bevel on it. Not supposed to have a secondary bevel on them, woops. It turned out great and shaved like a Mother....... Just give it a go and have fun with it. Maybe Butch will chime in here and give us some Pro insight. Dwane __________________ American Bladesmiths Society Apprentice Smith Work Smarter Not Harder www.OliverKnives.com |
