I think I got this sharpening thing figured out!
« on: July 25, 2013, 03:19:00 PM »
Well I put Chris Spikes sharpening method to work today on a Mag 1, and I must say, I've never gotten a head this sharp before in my life!

The shaving hair part...I still have to work on. I THINK I used too much pressure!

Suggestion... you'll soon tire of testing the edge that way. Find a different method!

Mr. Lamb, I don't think it's the method, it's my technique that needs tweaking. haha

But seriously folks, I've never been able to attain an edge that made the hair jump off my arm with so little pressure, until now.

Its no secret, here's the link to a tutorial Chris did a while back. He also has a video tutorial on YouT*be.

BTW, I skipped the grinding wheel step, and went straight to the Jewelstik and guide.
