Thanked: 1Time to Start Honing
I've been shaving with a straight exclusively since Jan. My Genco Master Cutler is finally too dull to use without significant discomfort. I moved back to my WH Morley & Sons Clover Brand, which was the one I started with. It's shaving better than the Genco now, but I think the edge is rolled on it in places since I learned to strop primarily with it.
Anyway, I think it's time for me to redo the edge on the Genco, if not both of these razors. I was thinking of running to Woodcraft & picking up a Chinese 12K and maybe a Norton flattening stone to get it flat before using it. Would this be all I need, or at least an adequate place to start so I can "hone" my honing skills and get my Genco back in shave-ready condition?Last edited by FightinTxAg; 04-03-2009 at 08:20 PM.
