Thread: The Giving Razor- honemeisters in training?

I'm glad to see someone make this generous offer. You rock sir!

I was thinking that maybe some members could offer some practice blades at a nominal fee for us newbies learning to hone....

What a good idea. Personally, I don't wish/need to practice on the blade (I have a few to ruin myself ), but still think it is a very good idea.

Hmm....I have plenty of razors at my disposal at the moment. Some of them are probably not worth as much as I would like, being non-branded at all and being 4/8 blade........ You might be on to something!



Btw, I think this is a great idea. The only differnce I would add, would be to give the young honemeister feedback on how well he/she did. I know I would like some feedback from someone other than myself as to how "shave ready" my blades are.

I like the idea. But, as a noobie, I would need to borrow some honing stones too. I only have a coticule, so far.
Just how much honing does it need?

Yah. I'd like to check out your Prima Klang and that Damascus. Hmmmm...and the Maestro Livi...is there a limit on the number of razors I can check out? hehe

A practice face ... that would have been such a great idea for me, on so many levels.

What a cool thing to do. Huge props, man.
