How To Properly Set the Bevel on Your Straight Razor Blade EP2

Friday Special Hone Of The Day, How To Properly Set the Bevel on Your Straight Razor Blade, using a SUEHIRO 1000/3000 Grit Combination Waterstone, #HOTD with my Brand New ZY Grandslam Natural Wood Handle Straight Razor 13/16" 1/4-1/2 Hollow Ground Stainless Steel.

When Honing the Bevel is the Most Important Step in the process without a Properly Set Bevel you Can't Continue through the Honing Progressions, with Straight Razors it's all about the Edge!

YouTuber Stephen Davidson asked:
I would love to see you do a honing video on a ZY razor... Here you go Episode 2

These softer Japanese stones like the SUEHIRO 1000/3000 Grit Combination Waterstone have a few advantages over harder stones:
1. Because they are softer they do not become glazed or loaded with the material they are sharpening. New particles are constantly exposed as you work with them and thus they continue to cut consistently.
2. They can be lubricated effectively with water so nothing but water is required.
3. Because they are soft, the worn material and the water form a slurry that in conjunction with the stone, sharpens and polishes the blade more effectively.
