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!

ouch :knothead:
Good job! Also sorry to hear about you arm.
Suggestion... you'll soon tire of testing the edge that way. Find a different method!
:laughing:
You mastered sharpening and blood trailing in one sitting. Thats multi-tasking at its finest! :D
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.
Well share the secret!
Its no secret, here's the link to a tutorial Chris did a while back. He also has a video tutorial on YouT*be.

As Bill Engval would say...."Here's your sign"
:laughing:
actually, looks like you do have that sharpening gig figured out.
BTW, I skipped the grinding wheel step, and went straight to the Jewelstik and guide.
i guess that will do thats sharp enough

Ouch, that will leave a mark.
