Russian bevel re set

One more attempt at getting a decent edge out of my latest Russian blade.  I took it back down to start over again

Dull on Chosera

Chosera 800/slurry
Half strokes and circles til arm hair shave pretty quickly this is a fast stone

Cretan with tomo slurry
Circles and X strokes, keener fast too.

La dressante coticule with slurry ( milk)
X strokes for 25 reps then dilute
X strokes one drop every five( slurry already almost gone at start)
Definitely keener, this is also a great coti I don't use enough

Uchigumori on Hard uchi slurry
20 X strokes big bump!
Water 25 X strokes Very keen

35 on linen
40 on leather
20 on palm

I almost think it was better just off the Uchi with water before the strop!
we'll see

also,60 laps on leather for the Flaschner Dovo

SHAVE REPORT;


SUCCESS!! WHEN IN DOUBT, RESET THE BEVEL! THIS SHAVED LIKE A DREAM, FINALLY.


THE DOVO WAS GOOD BUT NOT GREAT AROUND THE CHIN, FOR SOME REASON. PERHAPS A BEVEL RESET HERE AS WELL?
