    Default My first time honing

    Today I finally honed my first razor. A few weeks ago I stripped the same razor using diamond spray as a refresher. The outcome wasent good. It was an uncomfortable shave. Today I pulled out the stones. Did the pyramid method on my nortons 4000/8000 stone, followed my ten strokes on the 12k, followed by 7 strokes with the diamond spray. Stripped it up and it was a great shave. All in all a total success
