Wade & Butcher Complete Sharpening - Bevel Set To JNAT Finish

Great vid

Hi Dr Matt,
Would LOVE an IRL stone!
Thank you for the recent recommendations over email!
Thank you for consistently providing great information! And
Thank you for the little slice of Americana you serve up in each of your videos with you being you!
Looking forward to coming back home to the states for a bit to be around some ‘Mericans and things that go bang!

I would love to have seen a microscope shot of the final stropped edge. What matters, of course, is how it shaved. Great video!

Dr.Matt, great videos. I currently have a Naniwa 5k & 8k super stone. Been trying to decide on a stone to finish on. Would the ILR be a good choice to use after those stones? What are your thoughts?

Learned so much from these video's keep up the great work!

thx for the razor work and videos Matt!

Nice to see a new video doc never get tired of a honing session. Maybe you should put a live cam in your shop 🤠
Interesting the ILR stone never hone on it. Also I'm looking to get an Ark but don't know which is best for finisher the surgical black or the translucent?
Thanks

Ive seen those Type1 1950s striped fire hose linen strops in yours and Keith's videos. Where would be a a good place to look to procure one? Ill shoot Keith a message as well.

Hey DrMatt! So happy to be watching a new video from you. Thanks for the masterclass. Cheers

Thanks Doc you a bad ass

That was excellent. Thanks for sharing your experience.

What about the pressure on the different stones?

Dr. Matt!!! Hope you’re doing well. Have a great summer, friend!!

Cool video seeing it from start to finish

Great video as usual. Ive been a bladesmith (mostly chef knives) for 10 years or so and started making and honing straights in the past couple years and your videos have helped me greatly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

I was just thinking that I needed to see a new video from you and there you were. I have a couple of razors I will be sending your way for your special touch. I got a Yuri razor that I need you to put an edge on. Talk to you soon.

You talked about the wade having a high spot on the bevel. If you have that on a razor with out a smile, how would you correct that?

Glad to see you again. Thanks for the video. Confused by the girl, hehe

I would love to try out an ILR I've been hearing a lot about them and they sound wonderful.

Great video! Nice stone! Thanks Dr. Matt! Best!

Nice job on that razor!!

Great vid Doc as always. Still living rent free in those dorks heads. That chick in the foto lost one of her straps, cut her a piece of fire hose to help out. ( exclude me from give away, previous winner )

Never seen the hand soap trick. Do you use that with any other type of stone, or just the Japanese stones?

I’d love to have that stone in this side of the Atlantic

Dr. Matt, I've noticed on a few Wade and Butchers that they seem to lag in sharpness until about the 5k or 8k range. Then, they "catch up" and feel about like one would expect from any other razor. I don't know if this is just my technique, maybe I'm rushing that old Sheffield steel, or maybe it's something other people have noticed.

Do you still hone razors for people ? If so, I need one honed, please

Love to see another video! I hope i'm not too late for the givaway. I was wondering if you ever tried using or sharpening a japanese kamisori razor?

Haven't watched in a while. Love watching a master at work. ❤

Masterclass.

Dr Matt, good to see you back at it. Amazing work on that classic razor. Thank you for your time and knowledge and sharing. Well done sir!

Excuse me, I would like to know a little bit. Is this JAMES JOHNSON DULCE CAST STEEL razor as good as WADE & BUTCHER?

I am interested in getting an ILR. I have been wanting to try one for quite some time. So I would love to be put in for the give away.
I make my own box for my stones, it is more of a personal touch that makes it my own.
Love the bomb shells at the end. Cracked me up. :)
Thanks for the videos and your time. Cheers.

I of course would like the stone, and I have noted that English razors tend to be somewhat soft

Great content. I don't know if I'm too late for the stone giveaway, but would love to try it!

Really excellent show. I appreciate reality t.v. more and more as my whiskers turn grey. Thanks man.

Great video! I tried this on a Sheffield yesterday.

Thank you for an instructive video.

Nice work & good tip about killing the edge before a doo over.
Ps im new to sharpening and would like to try as many stones as possible.
What are your favourite stones & grades?

I love Wade and butcher razors, I have several like 12-14 of them about 6 are true wedges. I agree I love a Janat edge on them. Is your daughter still making the shave cloths? I didn't see you use one on this shave.

an ILR 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Hello Sir! I just had to leave a comment to thank you for all the great instructional videos you have made. I got my first straight razor from an antique store earlier this month and a gold dollar that was supposed to come "shave ready" from razor emporium but had nicks in the blade visible to the naked eye(they did sort of make it up to me by sending me a ralf aust for 60 bucks and telling me to keep the Gold Dollar). After watching your videos i purchased three stones pre your recommendations a King delux 1k, Nortion two sided 4k and 8k, and a naniwa 12k. I followed all the steps you outlined, and I was able to get both razors shave ready and hanging hairs sharp. Both also passed the shave test with flying colors! Thanks again your the great instruction Dr Matt.

Dr Matt , you are a maestro !!
Are you using the Hanging Hair Test at the end of honing n stropping ??

Love your vids. And all the details. Just go ahead and ship that stone to me lol.

Great video

Hi Matt, are you still sharpening razors if sent to you?

Is it possible to get one side of the razor sharper than the other side? When I shave I feel one side of my face cuts better than the other side. Could that just be dominant hand vs non dominant hand shaving?

Respect and love from Greece

Please continue doing videos…

Hello Dr Matt,

I have seen Professional Sharpeners Have a Hard time with those Wades.

They Put Your Name on the Box because You Helped to Promote the Stone and have shown the Public on How to Use the Imperia La Roccia Finishing Stone; You are Special to ILR and to a Viewer like me who Enjoys Watching Your Videos.

Hello Dr Matt, The Reason ILR wrote Your Name on the Box is because You Helped Promote the Stone and You Taught Viewers How one Should use The Stone, You are Special to Them.

Good Video
