Yes I actually ruined the edge by doing the TNT with pressure.

Thanks for bringing knives into the picture...

I was actually wondering whether I could use 4k/8k to sharpen knives.

HI

TPT seem to be a bit hard to grasp.

Anyways I have honed/sharpened the razor, but I am not getting that smooth feeling. I have tried to follow Lynn's circle vdo several times down to the...

Hi bluesman7

Thanks for the elaborate description.
I thick i get the TNT as the edge cuts in a bit.
I also have major issues with TPT. Can you link to to a good TPT Vdo?

I could not understand the TNT. I read an article somewhere, but could not understand how the razor should "feel" like

Hello Gents,

Here's an update - For the first time in my life (and maybe in Bangladesh) I have set the bevel and honed (I think) using Lynn's circle method on the 4k/8k Norton. Since I worked on...

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to breaking it down for me!

Hi Marshal

I was actually guided to the SRD spray. But I don't have any means to buy it off SRD's platform. Amazon is the only place I can buy stuffs from beyond Bangladesh.

Thanks for the wishes Eddy. Talks of "burn" , "heal" are really starting to give me the jitters! I was actually congratulating myself on been to able to use my left hand to shave!

Thanks man! That's a valuable tip.

Good morning gentlemen!

Update: I have been shaving using the straight.....I can now shave with both my hands now albeit with a patchy chin. Today I felt the razor pulling and I am feeling a...

Sorry should have been more specific. It's Woodstock D2902 1-Pound Extra Fine Buffing Compound, Green

Damn right I will be more careful. I was up till 2.30 am last night stropping it!

Thanks for the suggestion. By the looks of things I will ned to get another one, but I would to get my technique corrected prior to spending on another piece.

Hello,

Today I shaved and thankfully did not cut myself, but I can feel the sharpness has faded! Stropping isn't helping much!

Will a refreshing help? I mean with scrubbing green chalk on the...

No the spot's still there. I'll shave with it tomorrow and post an update.

Utopian guessed it right, I don't have a whetstone yet. I should have 1 by the end of next month. But then there's the issue of teaching myself to hone......and then there is the back honing...

Hi,

I tried your method. Stropping did not cause any problems. I did not try shaving with it yet.

Will post an update once I have done so. Thanks.

Hi

As I was stropping my straight today, I happened to drop my it. I can see a little dent on the edge. Will that be a problem to shave?
