Tom, thanks for both videos. I’m a new straight razor shaver (no pocket knive shaves yet) and I’m a relative newbie to the WEPS too.
Your stroke progression worked very well for me with just the diamond stones and leather strops (3.5, 5 micron). I set the bevel with the 800 grit stone as it was very close to being set to begin with. I got my best edges to date, close to mirror, and near hair whittling. Next up is experiments with lapping film (a chosera set would be nice but I need to slow down with sharpening purchases).
I’d been on the fence about keeping the WEPS but now it’s a definite keeper!
Thanks again,
Mitch
