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 situational 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
