Thread: non-shave ready razor needs honing

The simplest and cheapest would be to send the non-shave ready razor out to be honed. There is a not insignificant investment needed in hones for one to be able to make the non-ready, ready. Additionally, there is also a not insignificant learning curve to travel before one can say that one is able to hone one's own razors well. Once you've decided to try honing your own razors and get the hones to do it with, it's probably best to try it on a razor that you don't hold dear, just in case the outcome and the outcome and the outcome (there's that curve again) don't come out exactly as anticipated.

Good luck

You will enjoy your razor much more if you get your razor professionally honed.
