It is not too difficult to get a knife shave ready using the WEPS, provided you have some high-grit stones, like the 10K Choseras. So I thought it would be fun to start a SOTD topic here.
The only rule: you should have shaved at least some part of your face with the knife you show.
I’ll start with the knife I shaved with yesterday.
Knife: Laguiole Renaud Aubry
Steel: 12C27
Angle: 20 degrees per side
Stone finish: Chosera 10K
Strop: 1 micron diamond on balsa, 0.5 micron diamond on balsa, plain cow leather
Well, you scored big time on the sharpening, but bombed terribly on the shaving cream!!! :evil:
Nice job, and welcome to the club of crazy knife shaves! B)
Knife: Benchmade 940 Osborne
Steel: S30V
Angle: 17 degrees per side (about the factory edge)
Stone finish: Chosera 10K
Strop: 1 micron diamond on balsa, 0.5 micron diamond on balsa, 0.25 micron CBN on balsa, plain cow leather
Yes, it is quite crazy. This shave became quite a bloody affair. Shaving with crazy knives does not only require a sharp knife, but also a good technique!
The knife sure did have a beautiful mirror edge.
