OK, OK, I've been reading all of the posts, the magazine articles, the folklore ... and now my HNT smoother blade is blunt enough to need real sharpening.
Grinding, ...1000 grit water stone, ...4000 grit water stone ... 8000 grit water stone ... and now for the (black magic) tests ..
doesn't slip on the thumb nail
dry shaves the hair off my forearm ...
BUT NOBODY MENTIONED THE BLOOD BEFORE !!

Merry Christmas all, may Santa be kind, may he bring you the tools you want ... and bandaids to me, Fletty

now sorry to break the news to you Fletty but if you'e drawing blood the blade just isn't sharp enough :eek: :D ;) ;)

Only joking mate, have a great xmas :D :D :D

PS if my Braun shaver ever dies I can rest knowing I can get a great shave from any of my plane blades :eek: , I have since stopped testing them on my forearms though because I just don't like the patchy hairy arms look :o
