Wanna make it sharp....need stone
Hello I'm a newbie ( surprise) who would like to get involved in sharpening -honing my own self....trouble is ...there are no stones to be found in the great state of Arizona...with all the whiskers here it seems impossible to me that I have to buy from an on-line store...what did the older cowboys do before there was a sidewalk to sharpen our razors on....I know those wooden walkways would not have done it ---did the barber have to go on-line to get a new stone from as far away as Chicago...
Gonna drive by Union Hills tomorrow...
...it's not that know how ,or can learn...it is that if I'm willing to place a very sharp blade against my carotid artery and move it around...I want as much responsibility as possible for the results...I need a stone for honing and another for sharpening and a strop for maintaining the burr....I have one lead on where to get a stone or information to convince me not to do it myself...a start it is ---a start it is...Doug
