Thread: Removing nicks from a blade

For me the 3/10000 hone would not be enough. I would add the naniwa 1K to set the bevel. also I would watch the honing videos on you tube. especially the one by Lynn Abrams. That's the one I learned from but there are many and I believe you can't watch too many. Honing is a learning process achieved by watching the teachers and practice. I would obtain a less expensive razor off the bay to practice on and would send my good razor out to one of the pro's to be honed so I would have something to compare my honing to. Good honing can be achieved by doing this. How ever don't expect to achieve an edge as good as the pros the first pop out the box. it does take practice. I read the Mr. Abrams has honed over 50,000 razors and still counting. I have been honing for about 2 years now and still go back to the videos from time to time. some blades I get a great edge and some wouldn't cut hot butter and all kinds of edges in between. At any rate I wish you success and enjoy the sport.
