Thread: ONE COTICULE HONING

If I decide to use tape should I add a second layer after I'm done with the heavy slurry?

thanks!

It would of course be best to take a razor that actually needs honing. Although I have honed perfectly shaving razors, many times. But those are cheap Double Arrows that I specifically use for honing experiments.

I have honed up a Bartmann 504 today. It has fancy spinework, so I started with one layer of tape, and added a second layer later. I got the same great edge that I have consistently been getting on all razors I tried so far. Still need to shave with the Bartmann, later on tonight, but it silently severs hair on my HHT, so I'm confident in the shaving results.

Best regards,
Bart.
