Thread: Makes No Sense

I would like to add that Joe Chandler sells'em shave-ready, and I'm pretty sure that Robert Williams does too. Synce Lynn's selling the Mastro Livi razors, I'm sure they make amazing shavers. However, those are all customs.

After the other guys comments you probably don't need me to say this but I will anyway. using a 1.2K hone on a new razor and circular honing at that is enough to scare the willies out of any shaver. You undoubtedly destroyed the bevel. On a new razor unless it is really defective I would never recommend anything coarser than 8K and myself would only use 12K. It should only have needed the coticule type stone just to bring it to shave ready status.

My recommendation is to get yourself a few eboy specials and practice with the proper hones. Don't ruin anymore good razors or we will all start crying here.

Ilija,
Your are right and I forgot to mention the "customs". All of those are hand made and hhoned by their makers/sellers. I was commenting only on the commercially made brands, Dovo and TI.

John Crowley also offers honing on the new/NOS Wacker and Williams Custom razors he sells.
