Thanked: 2Honing sort of
Hi yall, i purchased a couple of razors from ebay, A kropp, and a thomas turner, both look hollow ground ( the turner says so on the blade).
I bought them to practice honing and stropping.
today i tried a whet stone and both blades took an edge, and were almost sharp enough to shave with.
This time i used a whet stone for a chisel ( remember this was an experiment) maybe 1000 grit if that,
I have a strop arriving when i get to the post office to collect it,
Do i redo on a 10-12k stone then strop or do i just try the strop, ( what is a barber's hone)
Neither blade is for shaving yet, i have bought one from invisible edge.
all blades sheffield made from circ 1900-1920.
any advice appreciated.
