Hello,
Don't know if I can write here. I'll try. If I'm wrong don't hesitate to correct me.
I have some experience with sharpening (some years ... not much ... but I'm not a novice)
I bought a straight razor (for me an unknown universe)
Brand: Thiers-Issard France
On the instructions they state that a hollow straight razor should be sharpened for
years on a strop before getting back to a stone. (they come razor sharp)
On this page of their website they say that the angle on a stone is different then on a strop:
https://www.thiers-issard.fr/en/razo...-aiguiser.html
But if I try just to lay down the blade on the stone, keeping in contact the shoulder(back) and the blade(front),
I see that the blade touches perfectly the stone. So why should I change the angle and raise it ever so slightly?
Ooh... This is a totally different world for me. Another learning curve.
Thx ^^
