1st plate glass
2nd black marker
3rd 600grit, 1200grit wet/dry auto sand paper
4th leather strap
1st Thing is to mark the blade edges on the angle
Then place the 600grit on the plate glass & point the tip of the head away from you & as you apply light pressure pull the head back to you. After the marker is removed from the blade move to the 1200.
The 1200grit will take some time & remember to use light pressure & pulling back to you striate. Keep enough water on the paper to keep it from clogging up. This will take some time 30min avg. At this point you can check the blade by sliding it down your fingernail like you are shaving. When it bights your fingernail your ready to use the strap.
I take the strap & place it on the table so I can apply flat pressure. Keep the same backwards motion during the whole time.
This gives me an awesome edge.
Hope this helpes.
