    Default Honing wedge single edge blades

    I have a Henkel "rapide" and a CV Hiljestrand single edge razors that use their own wedge blades included for use with them. Has anyone honed these blades before? What kind of equipment would be the best for them.

    Hopefully, you have the handle in which the blades slide into. Then, it is honed as a straight razor. Lots on honing a straight here!

    I rest my case.

    Do you have a picture of your set? There is a handle for honing and stropping that should be part of the kit. I have a couple as well but have not gotten around to honing one up yet. I have a lot of unfinished projects.

    Thanks for the input. I bought some lapping film for honing8 them. Is this adequate? Will it do the job as well as stones would?

    You will need to asses the edges and decide if you need a bevel reset or just a touch up. Essentially they are mini straight razors and sharpen and maintain exactly the same.
