I think I commented on the short, but I have not done that before, I didn't know you could, so I am not sure if it worked. Thanks for this video. I want make some curve hones, some for fixing geometry and some for thinning out the bevel. I want to try it out on my troublesome razors. Thank you for sharing.

Jesus Christ Eric! The X-strokes at 5:10 are so fast haha! You have some muscle memory when it comes to that I can see. Your honing is awesome, I could watch video after video and not get tired my friend.

Great video Eric. The “La Lune” was next up on my list of stones to get.

They not bad, easy to acquire and fairly priced.

I enjoyed seeing how honing on the purple slate went. I think it’ll help me since I’m learning on a small vintage La Lune. Was that shaped like a wheel too?

@BigEShaves 25 күн бұрын

Yes the La lune is shaped to about 10’

Hi! How do you curve the surface of your stones? Do you use that concave plate that Jarrod sells in America? Or can it be done by hand somehow? is there a difference in shaving when you sharpen a razor on curved stones? Thanks from Italy.

@BigEShaves 26 күн бұрын

I do not have a plate, but I do feel they are worth it. With a plate you don’t have to do the math, or risking over doing it and not knowing your wheel size. I shape mine in a number of ways, it’s no easier or harder than with a plate. You just must have to know the calculations and really monitor what you’re doing. I will end up with a plate eventually

I think that it’s definitely easier to get to a comfortable keen edge on curved stones. And super honing is best suited for full hollow or extra hollow ground razors. I do still hone many of my razors flat.

@BigEShaves Hi! Have you convexed the La lune too or do you run it flat?

@Martins-Shaves123 26 күн бұрын

I have my Jarrod plate , its a work of art to a engineering minded person ....I used it to only work one stone. But I wasn't very expert. So one day I'll venture back to concave bevels , very clever stuff ,! Well done Eric 👏

Very nice sir. What are you using to convex your stones with? Did you get Jarrod's plate or did you use something else? Thanks in advance, Stephen Davidson

I don’t have a Jarrod plate, I made my own positive and negative shaping bases out of wood. My bases are approximately of a 9’ wheel. If I go less or more I do that by hand . My bases shape to a cylindrical curve verses elliptical like the Jarrod plate. I will purchase a plate eventually. They would be much easier and worth the money. I went the way I did because I wanted a complete understanding of the math behind it. My way is a pain in the butt and you risk accuracy. I must keep checking and calipering to make sure I’m even and not overly aggressive. I do believe my work on a cylinder type wheel will be faster than on an elliptical stone, but this is not about speed. I will confirm once I get a plate to test it out. It has been a fun experiment.

@@BigEShaves okay thanks. The Jarrod plate is awesome if you decide to get it.
