Thread: Send for a Re-hone or Grab Dat Dere Stone?

Then you should not practice honing on something that needs to be properly honed. Best to learn to shave & strop first, hone later.
Try practice stropping on a single sheet of newspaper held by a clip. Most but not all mistakes will become obvious.

Thank you all for the suggestions and info. The shaves did start as good when I first got the razor, so yeah, pretty sure it's me. I'm most likely going to send it back to get re-honed and will go ahead and grab a leather strop as well. If Lynn mentions what the specific issue might be, I'll report back.
