Help on Honing
Well gents I thought I'd get in to honing. I bought two cheap razors to practice on my norton 4/8k. But I have a problem..One of my razors has a nick on it, its not very big but still, and I tried for quite some time to get it out but failed with the 4k side, it did get little better but still. I used both the Xpattern and circular motion. Should I continue to try to get it out. It may be that the 4k is too fine and just takes a lot longer, but i'm not going to get another stone yet so in this case I just have to keep trying.
My other razor is in good shape but its a wedge and it has a little bit of a smiling egde. The promblem with this is that I cant get it to stay flat on the stone surface. Any Ideas?
And the last question, if the stone is big enough to cover more than the blade do I need to do the X pattern or should i run the blade back and forth?
Thank you!
PS. Here's a pic of the blades
