Description
Shaped by the ‘the Jarrod plate‘ and these papers and this to have 6.5’Ø shape on one side, 25’Ø shape on the opposite side, the other two sides factory flat from Dan’s and that means dammmmmn flat.
This file will be rock hard and fine, with that crispy sizzle feedback the trans has that the black does not.
As an intermediary device, between the prior work on the bevel from either a waterstone shaped to the ‘the jarrod plate’ short axis or the little diamond thingies or a fancy shaped Washita and the Black Arkansas finisher, a great hard Arkansas shaped baby stone such as this, used as a file on its thinnest side making contact to the cutting edge whether or not it was so born, is pretty much unsurpassed. Quality of life and function of the tool are both tremendous.
You use this just like you’ve seen me do in the recent YouTube videos; as taught to me, in some way, but footage emailed to me by our mutual friend in abrasives.
Bought this from Dan’s specials section for $62 delivered, and this took ~40 minutes grinding labor, a buck or three of abrasives, and the time spent doing this editing and later picking/packing (where we’ll throw ~-$6-7.5 in postage/parcel overheads). It is a spectacular piece of stone and will serve and straight razor aficionado well.
