Single edge cool wall

Is there some sort of jig you can use like it was a wood plain blade? Something to hold at the right angle while you hone them?

I Hone SE Hollow Ground Blades Flat on the Hone with One Layer of Tape the Same as an SR..The Wilkinson Blade I Would Use Cello Tape Instead of Electrical Tape because of the Very Unusual Size..These Ones are Petite & Tiny..

One thing is For Sure..These Wilkinson SEs are a Wonder of State of the Art Engineering Man..The Design is So Complex, Exacting & Precise..The Metal is Like a Panzer Tank..The Skills to Make these..Also..They were Clearly Aimed at the High End Market..Hell..There Woudnt have been Many that Could have Afforded a Disposable Hollow Ground Blade SE..

Auto Strop Design's in General were a Bit of a Gimmick in My Books..But..They Would have Attracted the Folks with a Bit of Spare Cash to Spend Due to their Relative Ease of Use..They are Also a thing of Beauty all in One Packege..Still..Not for the Fainthearted these Wilkinson SEs..

Have fun.

Thanks a lot.
After a bit of fiddling:

Now I have to remember where the razor is
... and see if I can find a patent for it...

 

[riverrun]

Aye..These Blades Can be More Finicky to Hone Sometimes than an SR because they are So Short..

It gets even more complicated if you've sold your stones, like I did

After my initial honing, I test shaved one area on my face and decided I needed to pull out the stones. Second attempt was better (at least it cut something that didn't bleed, but that one spot on my cheek now feels like someone lit a match to it. Will probably do some heavy stropping tonight and use some extra slick shaving soap.

Supply provision single edge razor. V1.

Got this in yesterday's mail and first shave tonight. Used a Gem Carbon blade as I was too lazy to strop my Kampfe wedge. The razor did not come with blades. Immediately became my favorite Gem type shaver.

The Queen of Injector razors - the Eversharp Fashion Razor (Schick H1)
Easily the best of my Schick injectors. Completely different. Love it.

Billy, I think that you're really that globetrotting British fishin' guru (and international heartthrob) Jeremy Wade.
