This razor came back to me from being on loan. It had a tiny ding on the toe that required fixing so I did a slight reprofile of the edge to fix it. The progression was 1K Shapton Glass, 5K Nubatama, 10K Imanishi, 25 laps on firehose linen, 30 laps 750nm diamond emulsion on nanocloth, 30 laps 250nm diamond emulsion on nanocloth, 25 laps firehose linen, 50 laps on Tony Miller steerhide leather.
If you’re thinking that the diamond emulsion was unnecessary I wouldn’t argue. I have all this stuff from 15 years of sharpening so I feel compelled to use it.
