Hi All,

Just thought I'd write something about the first razor that I honed myself.

Well, I bought a few razors from Ebay and got one of them honed for me. The shave from this was great which made me want to get a Norton 4000/8000 stone so that I could hone my other razors.

So, the other day it arrived and I started honing one of my razors with it using the pyramid method. Did the thumb nail and hanging hair rest and it was all good. So I though what the hell, let's give shaving with it a try.

Well, I did get a REALLY close shave. However, It gave me the WORST razor burn I have ever had Infact, three days later I still cannot shave because my skin is really painful, STILL

Oh well. Never mind. Think I just need to go a LOT more gentle with it next time!

Also, when I use multiple lathers/shaves, I find that my lips are relly sensitive and in slight pain for the rest of the day (I use a Kent B2 brush). Does anyone else find this?
