Thread: New Cretan hone

Right, so until now, I've been very gentle with my Cretan friends and have reset bevels and honed to shave ready several razors, which have been in my rotation for a while. I am happy to report that my Cretan blue hone is indeed a finisher, although the edge so far has been a bit harsh for my taste, but I have to say I haven't really figured it out completely. I will keep experimenting.

Last night I've done something different and I will let the picture speak for itself. 45 minute job in total, a lot of pressure (I'm talking both hands), slurried all the way. Only the last 20ish strokes were gentle. The razor is a Gold dollar.
