Thread: New to honing, where to find best instructions?

In the begining I watch several videos by different presenter and settled on gssixgun. I then stuck with his videos only until I could get a repeatable edge. All the magic is in the bevel set. I have worked on my bevel set and my 1K edge a lot, and I can actually get a decent shave from the 1K. Once you have that mastered the rest is simple. I use a loupe to check my bevel set and progress. I am yet to see a good video on the use of a loupe, however there is this old thread https://straightrazorpalace.com/honi...ggestions.html and it has some pretty good pictures. There is nothing like hands on, one on one. Get to a meet if you can or meet with an experienced members. I learned on a new Dovo and a new TI and a couple of NOS vintage razors. With no geometry issues to deal with all I had to concentrate on was honing. If you tape the spine and keep from being ham fisted you will do just fine.
