Thread: My First Honing Success!

Congrats on the success! Do you have a loupe you can use to look at the edge? I've found that it really does make a difference, especially when you'rre just learning, to be able to see the progress as you go.

Great feeling when you finally are successful in honing a razor of your own. If you have to go back to the hone to dial it in further don't be discouraged. When learning to hone I have found that it is sometimes one step forward and then two steps back. Keep at it and it just gets better. The joy, as they say, is in the journey.

In the journey, indeed!

I thought I'd share my experience with my barber today and she thought it was the funniest thing she'd heard. WTF?

Silver, please rescue me from these heathens!

I don't have a loupe, but I do have a stereo microscope! I'll use it when I get up the nerve to hone the Prima Klang.
