Thread: What is "overhoning"? and...Dremel cleaning...and finding my path as a newbie

Well, you will be amazed with what you can accomplish with elbow grease and a few key tools. 000 and 0000 steel wool, WD-40, Mothers polish combine very well with elbow grease. A Dremel does not do much that you cannot do with elbow grease, that is until you get into some advance techniques. I think starting by hand until you have a thorough understanding of exactly what you are trying to accomplish and learning the techniques leads to less spoiled razors and better restores.
Overhoning is when the fin of the bevel is so thin and fragile that it quickly and easily breaks down.
The forum is full of a many personalities and sooner or later you will find a core group of friends on here and people that you will communicate with about all things razor related. There will be others that will hit the other end of the social scales. Ignore those you do not click with and enjoy your time with the others and feel free to search old posts and read in the library and ask question about stuff you don't understand. There is a lot of information here.
Have fun!
