    Daddy... Where do straight razors come from?

    Here is a video that other beginners might enjoy.
    This shows the whole process (mistakes included).

    It's even better when you are at Charlie's and he's pounding iron, but he's a cantankerous guy. Tc

    This also reinforced the concept (for me anyway) that you don't need to use a whole lot of strokes when you hone a new razor!

    Well, I guess this answers what I'm doing this afternoon...
    State v. Durham, 323 N.W. 2d 243, 245 (Iowa 1982) (holding that a straight razor is per se a "dangerous weapon").

    It's all in the geometry of the man doing the grinding on how easy to hone it will be. Tc
