Thread: with a can do atitude

Ive tried pasting some sand paper to a glass pane it was creud but I learned something , even if it looks flat the gleu can dry and warp the baper just a bit or the gleu can seep in parts of the paper but not all drying with the grit and some parts will harden more than others ,there is just too much variabels for such a fine edge

I have heard that spray glue does a better job, but I haven't tried it.

Here is a vid of using lapping paper to hone with. Water is used to bond the paper to the backing and wet it prior to honing.

This is helpfull I found out the barber who cuts my father and brothers hair uses a straight to shave them I will ask him if he or where he he sharpened his

That's great news! Nothing like having someone local to help out or teach you.

Ja better to start propper than be put off ,I bought a de razor the same time but every time I shave Im think well done now your just shaving the same but with a single blade so Im looking forward to shaving with a straight looks to me in a class of its own

Ive gotten it to pass haning hair test and shave my cheeks with ease

The stones are small but good quality
