Yeah, a fair bit. That is probably the main thing I am trying to learn at the moment, how long to spend on a hone until I move onto the next one. I bought a cheap 60x jewellers loupe and I find that's handy.
I just shaved with a razor that has gone to CrO. Probably my smoothest shave to date. Still, hard to say if it was the CrO, my beard, the sun and the stars being in the right alignment, etc, etc.Last edited by Legion; 10-03-2010 at 03:05 AM.

Gents.
just a couple of days ago I got onto the carbotec website, and they are here in Perth, have been cogitating over whether I may purchase some of their waterstones, they seem pretty cheap, I gather a lot of you blokes are onto them as well. I am currently using an Arkansas stone for the initial grind, with kero, then go to a very fine stone the old man used to sharpen his muelsing and tailing gear with. I also use a barbers hone and a couple of other fine white natural stone picked up from and antque stores. The last two are very like what an old time barber in West Perth uses on his straights. I find a mix of light gun oil and kero is a good thing.
Cheers:
Gordon

Thanked: 77And don't forget to check overseas websites.
As nice as it is to go local - sometimes it works our cheaper (even after postage and currency conversion) to go overseas.
Depends on what you're after of course.
All the best,
Michael
