Hello all... I have a few questions about honing a few razors I just bought off E-Bay. First a little background info. I'm fairly new to SR shaving (about 2 years) but a real novice honing razors as I got my first Norton 4000/8000 about 2 months ago and just received a Naniwa 12000 a few days ago. I get passable shaves off the Norton and the few times finishing with the Naniwa they seem a little sharper. So to my question. I'm sitting home late one night about a week ago and go to E-Bay straight razors and keep telling myself don't buy anything because you have plenty of them... Well wouldn't you know I see a 2 for 1 buy now Red Point and a Black Demon added in for good measure at $59.99.. Next thing I know I receive a confirmation and for 3 days all I can do is shake my head.. The sellers description is they are Estate collected and don't look like they have ever been used (heard that before).. Package comes and open up to 2 razors that look as if they have never been used!!! Beautiful shape! The thing is they are quite dull and need honing pretty bad to get shave ready. Since I'm a novice at this I'm nervous about F-ing these up. Do I start at 4000 and do a Lynn style bevel to regular hone, then to 8000 to 12000 for finish? Do I have to start lower than the 4000 and work from there? I actually have more expensive and probably better quality blades in my rotation that I already use the stones on but for some reason the surprise of getting NOS when I didn't expect is making me nervous to sharpen these.. I could always just keep them in their boxes for a while longer into I get really comfortable honing too.. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.. Thnx, Scott Btw, sorry about this lengthy post, holy smokes I rambled on didn't I?
