Thread: Noob with questions

Agree with Badgister send it for a pro honing. Why start without knowing that it is truly shave ready. Good luck

I have heard a few horror stories about knife sharpeners stuffing up a razor, the job is a lot more subtle on a razor than on a knife.

I was watching a guy sharpen a sushi knife and he went to 8K but still was grinding at the edge. Before I started sharpening my own razor it would have looked like he was being delicate. I could not believe the way he plonked the knives down after he was finished and the hones were dished to buggery (I almost asked him if he wanted me to lap them for him).
