Thanked: 0Honing Question
Hello all. First timer here. I just purchased my first set ("shave ready" Dovo 6//8 half hollow). I haven't even gotten it yet. I just had some questions about honing and touching up brand new blades.
Will I need to hone a "shave ready" Dovo at all? I have been reading about honing blades and after so many shaves, they need to be touched up. Should I go ahead and buy a sharpening tool for this? If so, what sharpening tool should I go with? How will I know when it needs to be "touched up"? I only shave about 2-3 times a week. I have seen many people say they have a few blades in rotation. Will I be OK having one blade for a while?
Thanks for all of your help and advice. I am just getting into this and I want to make sure I am prepared and can enjoy the experience as much as I hope. I am sure these answers are already on here somewhere so please bear with me if I am asking common questions.
