I had the stones out the other week to see if i could improve the edges on my Henkel's and Wilkinson Pall Mall blades.
The Honing/Stropping blade holders are showing some signs of wear so i used some tape on both of them.
The Henkel's was easy enough to replicate the bevel however the Wilkinson blade were out quite a bit.
Anyway, I completed a full progression on 4 blades.
Today i used the freshly honed Henkel's blade in the Kampfe Star, a perfect fit.
Initially the blade felt smooth on the cheeks and neck but felt a bit harsh on the chin area, i completed 2 passes and some touch up, I checked with an alum rub which did give a little indication on the neck, the rinse off check gave me a very acceptable finish.
I will see if the edge settles next time out.
Enjoy your day all.
