Thread: Is My Razor Sharp Enough?

I see that your in the USA. So am I. Drop on over and I'll help get you straightened out.

Just kidding, but if you pin your location a little bit more accurately there may be someone close by who can help out.

Sounds like the razor needs to be honed from the bevel set up. There are several youtube videos covering this, but it is far easier to teach in person. You will be in the dark if you try to learn to hone and straight shave at the same time. Not impossible, but not recommended.

Another solution would be to send the razor out to be honed, learn to shave first, then start learning to hone when the razor needs it. That way you will at least know what a sharp razor feels like.
