Thread: How unrealistic would it be to try and restore this razor by myself?

Good advice from Jerry aka Gasman. Marty goes by the screen name Euclid440. He will spend a lot of time with people if they listen.
My advice is to read up on some posts, watch some of Glen's videos as Jerry suggested and make sure your stones are flat, smoothed and champhered correctly. Honing is a learned skill and is harder than it seems from the start but it is not impossible. Everyone here who does it started out not knowing just like you. For starters I would look at the "Honing" section of the forum and read, read, read. You will get it if you are patient and stick with it. And if you get stumped or need more info you can ask. Someone will help you.
