Thanked: 0Newbie Update: It's been a month since my posting so I thought I would update folks with what has happened since. I invested in a set of Naniwa stones, watched videos and read online instructions about honing then jumped right in. I figured I could always send the razor back to have it rehoned by a professional if I failed to get it as sharp as I thought it should be.
After spending many late nights trying different techniques I finally have a very sharp T-I. I am not sure what happened to my original edge but I think I rolled it with my poor stropping technique. I believe I was putting way too much pressure on the blade when using my hanging Latigo. Dah, I know not too smart! Anyway, many thanks to those far more experienced and knowledgeable who make this fun and possible for the rest of us. PS> my girlfriend says I am having way too much fun shaving and playing with my straight razor!! lol
