Thread: Enjoying my shaves so far, but...

Its not that honing is hard, it just takes a lot of practice and patience to learn. Your muscles have to get trained to apply equal pressure and get a feel for the stone. It is ALOT of fun and adds a whole new aspect to the world of SR shaving. Watch a ton of videos and use the search function on here and with practice you can learn it in no time. I would suggest getting a second razor to use specifically for honing though. I encourage you to give it a shot. People say to wait and learn the basics of shaving first, but thats just not in my personality. I have to dive right in. It all comes together in the end eventually. Your first order of business would be to make sure you have a professionally honed razor to use as a point of reference as to what you are shooting for.
