Thread: Been on the hone 4 hours, still wont shave.

This ones easy. It's a condition I call hone speed. Stop using the Coti. Each stone has a speed setting. I can best describe it with an analogy. You are learning how to drive. You get into a Honda civic and are doing pretty well. Then, based on your success you try out a 450 hp rear engine Ferrari with slick tires. That's when the trouble starts.

It's no secret that beginners are told to only use the slowest hones available. Check the Barbers manuals.
