Thread: “Ain’t no honemonster no more”

I’ve been honing a number of flea market and ebay razors recently and I think I’ve finally got the hang of it. I’ve been getting consistent results and I’m very happy with my progress. I’m about ten million razors away from honemeister, of course, but I ain’t no “honemonster” no more either.

And I’m not using anything particularly exotic. After setting the bevel, I use my Norton 4000/8000, followed by my N12K, then CO on leather, and finally stropping on clean leather. For the newbies out there: it’s not rocket science – it just takes patience and lots of practice.

There’s something very satisfying about taking a junk thrift store find and turning it back into the precision cutting tool it once was.

Just thought I’d share my progress. Thanks for enduring.
