How hard it to hone on yourself ?!
Hello
I have bought a nice razor to practice with from e-Bay, now I know it isn't shave ready, but I want to learn to sharpen it
How hard is it?!
I have ordered the Norton 4000/8000 and the Belgian Yellow Coticule and stoens for start it (Cotigura) and so on
Also I have ordered Lynn's DVD
Now, will I get it? is it really that "impossible " or can a newbie do it very good and shave with it?:hmmm:
Tank you
How hard to hone it yourself
Get the razor honed. Practice shaving. Honing is not hard. But, it does take time, practice, and patience. With that comes experience. Straight Razor Shaving is not about honing. It's about learning to get the smoothest, most comfortable, and closest shave possible.
You will learn to hone, and strop. These are learned skills. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to use a straight razor first.
You bought a lot of tools, you need to learn how to use these tools. It takes time.
Do you have a Strop or a pasted strop? Just because you use a straight razor dosen't mean you have to spend a lot of money. A good shave ready razor, a strop, and a pasted strop will do the trick for now. Believe me, you'll get to use your hones.
