# Hayashi Marten SIDI 355

This razor was a bear to get the backside heel; went through shapton glass 1k, 4k, 8k, 10k. Could not get it to pass HHT (or only barely pass, at best).

Finally gave up and taped it and ran a nagura progression on a narrow hone.

one layer of kapton tape
石22b narrow JNAT
tenjou
mejiro
tomo nagura (via Flo)

Looks very good under loupe but did not even try HHT because it would probably only depress me. Will shave test blind to find out what the practical reality is.

Result: OK, maybe even Good. But not Excellent.
