Thread: Hone or strop?

+1 with tcrideshd. This "Seller" that you talked to seems, based on the info you have given, does not know anything about honing razors. Yes, If you start getting into honing, every once in a while you may see here on SRP that we talk about the 1k shave but that is not shave anyone wants to do rather than test to see how well that person's bevel setting skills are. So for you at this point only focus sending the razors out and make sure they are shave ready and work on the other aspects of the shave, before throwing in the inexperienced honer variable.

Another concern that I have is that since it seemed like the vendor/seller your were dealing with did not know anything about razor honing, I would worry about the quality of the razors too. What are the brands of these two razors? Pictures are also a plus if you can post those too. But I'm afraid of that these razors you got may be on the "not worth the effort" list (my words) we have in the wiki library.
