General Sharpening questions
Sorry if this has already been asked I did a search and am not having luck finding the answer.
First off I need my blade sharpened where can I find a locations to send it off to?
second as a newbie I was wondering the timeline of sharpening. Assuming you have a new blade that is shave ready and you shave 5x a week.
obviously stroping before each shave how long until it becomes paste time on a boad and then how long until it needs to be honed on stone by yourself or a pro. again sorry if this has been asked some place else. thanks
General sharpening questions
Hello, pwedge88:
If I were shaving with the same razor every day, I would probably have it professionally honed about every six months or so. Or sooner if I feel it needs it.
Lynn Abrams, the founder of SRP and owner of Straight Razor Designs, hones all of my razors. Or you can select from among the honing professionals listed under member services.
In the meantime, please concentrate on proper stropping. If you have not yet, please wander through the Wiki for a wealth of information. Also, don't hesitate to post your questions.
Regards,
Obie
