For a shaver, which single hone.
For a shaver, which single man made hone makes sense to maintain an edge?
I have this pile of hones that I collected to rescue razors and get them
shaveable. I almost have enough razors now and can see how many rocks
I do not need or use when shaving is my goal.
I always recommend that a new razor be honed by a hone master.
I know that the bevel will get set, I know that it will give a darn fine
shave for a long time but eventually it will need a touch up. The hone
master shared the number of layers of tape if he/she used any. So...
Q#1: Is there a single hone that can be used on the first Saturday of the month
to refresh a razor. Five, ten, twenty nice smooth hone strokes. Rinse, dry, strop
and shave for the next month.
Q#2: Might there be a pair of hones that works better than a single hone.
Yes I have a couple hones that I use for my shavers. I do not use a full
progression of hones. I am skipping natural stones because getting a good
one is sort of a lottery.
The razor shaved yesterday... when to touch it up. how to simply touch it up.
