A perfect shave demands a perfect edge. Here, Harrelson and Howard present some easy, learnable and repeatable sharpening methods to benefit beginners and experts alike. Learn what happens to a razor's edge at the microscopic level and apply those lessons to your honing style.
A graduate of the North Bennett Street School, Harrelson Stanley has been sharpening western plane blades for 30 years. After his apprenticeship in Japan, using Japanese style planes, he began developing new ideas for western plane sharpening. Harrelson takes the mystery out of free-hand sharpening.
Howard Schechter started The Perfect Edge after his lifetime of honing which began at his father's side as a boy in his fur shop. An ongoing fascination developed an understanding of what goes on at the edge. This has led him through decades of study and practice in blacksmithing, bladesmithing, metallurgy, mineralogy, and leatherwork. It all comes together at the edge!
