Thread: Best newbie honing setup.$250

How did you manage a return with Jarrod and his "no return" policy?

Hey Chef,

I'm grinning, 'cause like yourself, I didn't listen to the cousel to wait 6 mo before honing. 'Wish I had.

I think Glen tells ya right. That Norton setup probably can't be outdone to learn with. Get so you have a good shave from the Norton 8, and you'll be miles ahead with most other gucci rocks.

If you would like a hand in the mean time w/ edges, pm me. 'Just pick up postage & envelope.

I didn't. I exchanged the bout which had a divot on the top edge of the stone after he said it was lapped, then tells me to go buy this grit and that grit sandpaper and lap it myself! That the divot is below the honing plane and won't affect.anything! The chips on the side of the stone were.2mm off the axis and the divot Is below the honing plane. Nice, as soon as I'm done.honing I'll make.sure I apply some primer and slag , and get to work on my quadrants...Come on! lose the technical mumbo jumbo.Now I realize this is very common stuff here. Im sure it was a great stone, but I'm sorry, for over $100 I shouldn't have to lap anything, especially when I specifically asked for it to be done. I wanted a nice flat stone, so that I have a good baseline point of reference, the same way they recommend a professionally honed razor, for a newbie, so that you have a point of reference.. Anyway, to be fair to them, I'm a tough customer, a pain in the arse at times, and as you can see from this thread, a little overzealous. But only because Im very green, and want to do things the right way...Anyway, that s all...I guess he started out very helpful, and quickly became very impatient, I guess I can do that to folks...
