Dovo's been pretty well taken to task about that 'let it rest' line, a lot of ppl think it was just a way to sell more razors. Knowing all the...
0.67° sounds potentially significant to me in a world where the range only spans ~+/-3°...what is the standard deviation and how much does .67°...
Fine, you win, Dalton. Nice technicality! Let's change everything I wrote from "very obtuse" to "less acute". When you tape the spine and...
<<Edited because I used the word "obtuse" incorrectly according to Merriam-Webster>> The idea of the strop is to present a medium moving away...
If you hone w/ tape, you create a bevel ° slightly more obtuse than the spine-to-edge geometry would dictate. If you strop the edge thereafter...

As I said, I have not yet read of an experienced user who tried it both ways and said they preferred flat. I have, on the other hand, read...

Thanks! There was a woodworker in our shop who claimed they could use a 12x12x1" wood to produce an ellipse divot which you'd then line with...
