Thread: Robert Williams 8/8 Damascus Swayback

And I just pretend it has a normal shape when I strop it rather than trying to do a rolling strop action.

Anyway, I love your razor. Robert Williams is just amazing.

Thanks I love it too. In honing the three of these radical swaybacks I have just done the rolling x throughout. I thought about setting the bevel on the RW in quadrants but I decided to just bite the bullet and invest the time. One way may be as good as the other but I didn't want to chance it.

I really love this one ,The craftsmanship& design are really a Big Jump Higher. Now this is another blade for me to lust after. Congrtatulations on an amazing razor.Paul

Just awestruck. A razor with class and unique character.
