Thread: long-winded intro, first honing, first shave

Welcome to SRP.

Hey, are you the Hardheart at BladeForums? If so, I've been reading your posts for several years over there.

The cool thing about sharpening razors for me (rather than knives) is that I actually get to use use the new edge every day for a real chore. All I ever did with my sport knives was test the edges. I can carry a Spyderco or Benchmade around for months without needing to use one. But I shave every day, sometimes twice! So that is a chance for daily edge sharpening gratification.

Also, those obsessively sharp knife edges are mostly for bragging rights. They're not really pratical for daily use unless you are a Japanese chef. But a razor sharp razor is just the norm.
