Thread: Few questions I should've asked before my purchase

Berticus,

I, too, am one who would like to be able to do things such as sharpening for himself. I do it for other edged tools, why not a razor? I am learning the finesse required for razor honing is altogether different than sharpening, for instance, a pocket knife and I can get that knife sharp enough to easily take hair off my forearm. Having a reference is nice. While it may not answer questions, it does provide a model. (And think where Hugh Hefner would be were it not for models)

I do shave with razors I have honed myself, but am not yet satisfied they are the ne plus ultras they should be. Maybe soon good, but not yet swell.

good luck, Bruce

They take great edges very easily and you won't have to fight through oxidized steel like you would if you purchased an antique razor on ebay.

I second that motion here is the link http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZopen_razorQQhtZ-1
