Vintage Solingen Straight Razor. Hone and test shave: Part 1

When I got this razor there were chips in the blade and the scales were broken. So I've polished it and given it some new scales.
Part 1 is where I hone the razor, from chip removal to finish. All in all this took me about 25 minutes and I've edited out half of it.
I don't consider this video a tutorial. There are other RUclipsrs who are better at this and they can also explain it better. This is more about sharing my process and how I reason when I make decisions.
Hope you enjoy it!

Great video waxbell I really enjoy watching your honing sección and great tips overall! I love a coticule edge on my razors they feel very comfortable and keen. Have a happy rest of your week and thanks for sharing!

Pretty shocked at how much water you use honing this razor ! I am by no means a green freak but it’s just not necessary. I’m a plus 20 years veteran barber/shaver. Thanks for sharing.
